I've had a long relationship with Griffin's iPod products. I've had various add-ons including their iTalk for the iPod Classic range which has suited me very well.

With the iPhone it made sense to have some sort of voice recording software and personally I had figured Griffin would do something considering their vast range of iPod products. iTalk Pro is that product and interestingly they've gone above and beyond by making it free.

iTalk Pro is a no nonsense app. Press the big red record button to record press the big green "Recording" button to pause the recording, give it a name, press "Done" to finish. So simple a ninety year old technophobe could do it. And that's its beauty. The tricky bit is getting it downloaded to the Mac but even this is easy.

Download the iTalk Sync app to your Mac, install it, run it, then run iTalk on the iPhone/Touch and it will automatically connect. On the desktop simply select the file you want and drag it to the Desktop or in my case an alias for a folder that contains all my voice recordings. It's not as simple as some download apps but it works well and I would hazard to mention it is less hassle than Ecco Note Pro which is also a great product but sadly has some very big UI issues.

The quality of the audio is pretty good but can be somewhat on the quiet side but this is more to do with the iPhone's mic more than the software itself so some leeway is given there. It records as standard AIFF although one app I used recorded using CoreAudio which is a much better format although only supported with QuickTime so support on Windows is limited.

You can record using the iPod Touch but it MUST be the second generation one and you must be using the Apple Stereo Headset. This limits its usability as the microphone on the headset is unable to record surrounding sounds. Would be good for doctors though.

iTalk is a big boon for the iPhone. It's a voice recording application that has a big name behind it. It doesn't do much more than existing ones and its free status is for a limited time only so get in quick but it is a great app and one I recommend fully.

While it is free now it will cost sooner or later.

Get it now and you won't be disappointed.
