That's the ones. A mini tripod type thing would be required. Got focus fairly close to this icy flower. Seriously just taking pics of anything now :

Gingerbread on N900? Very nice. I'd probably rather pick up a Nexus One though.

Most certainly, I doubt Android will ever be at 100% on the n900. But it is fun to play with

Isnt the N8 worth keeping

?

The N8 is a keeper. I do like to keep an Android device aswell. Just sold the Orange San Francisco but the N8 is here to stay.

okay, the tech dork of u2start is back

you'll see in a second why I deserve this title

okay, here's the thing. I've done my masters studies almost 3 years ago. Now I've thought about refreshing my theory kowledge by doing a kind of audio book by myself for my ipod. Means, I want to read certain chapters of books and lectures, record this reading and put that as audio files on my ipod.
So far the theory. I grew up in the 80s. Back then I would take my cassette player, put in a cassette, put it on record and just read out loud. Done.
I don't have a cassette player anymore. How on earth can I record my own voice digitally and use it on my ipod?

see, I deserve my title

No worries K., we all have lots of things to learn

(well, maybe all of us except Aaron and Yeah)

You have to get yourself:
a) a recording device and/or a microphone. If your computer doesn't have an integrated microphone, you'll need one to record any external noise. There are cheap ones (from 2$ in the nearest supermarket or informatics store) and a wide range up to 50's and 100's $. If you only want to record sporadic readings or noises, get yourself one around the 8-15€, they perform very well and are easy to install and use. Oh, and make sure you have a line-in / microphone entry in your PC!! You can also (or on the other hand) use an external recorder and later transfer the audio file to the PC and then to your iPod.
b) a digital-sound recording program. You'll need a program which is able to understand and register the digital noise which is coming through the line-in/mic plug. There are several ones that, being free, perform really well (and are useful for other tasks too, mainly audio editing). My personal favorite is Nero WaveEdit (included in every Nero version), a powerful audio editing tool that is also able to easily record audio from an external source. But many many people use Audacity, which is more a recording program with added audio-editor features. Those two are the most common I think, but there are around 9843579834 programs more, all of them have ups and downs.

That's all
