Review title: Great idea, just falls short ...
Product review: This is a great concept to make the iPod more functional. Where it fails is mostly Apple's fault. The battery life is dismal once you hook this device up to the iPod. I can barely get a 2 hour class recorded before it turns itself off. I also froze the iPod twice trying to pause or stop a recording to get more recording time. The actual device fails where it records a huge wav file that has to be converted to a smaller format. This is really a waste of space and time.If you are looking for a good recorder that saves down to an mp3 file very easily and quickly, then go for the Sony ICD-P520 ($50-$60). The software is easy to use and the device will store almost 30 hours at high quality. It works great for recording lectures.
