- Use Next button to navigate to “J. RECORD”
- Speak into Left earphone when “BEGIN…” appears
- You’ll get about 6 sec. of record time and then “DONE”

The recording tests they did were done in a special diagnostic mode…I would expect the 6 second limit to exist only for that mode. In “normal” recording mode (which apparently doesn’t exist yet) you should be limited only by the free space on the hard drive.

No problem. The only bad thing about this is that after talking myself out of buying a new iPod I’m now going to have to head down to the Apple Store tonight!

You mean there’s a line-in on the dock that will enable stereo mp3 encoding from an audio source in a future firmware/hardware upgrade? If so, this is the deal maker many of us have been waiting for. Now if they could only increase the battery life through a firmware upgrade too. I understand it’s really only 7 1/2 hours, which is pretty lame.

There is no lin-in on the dock…yet. Look for something from Apple with a line-in in a few months.

Now I’m reading that the line-in will be on an enhanced remote that will also have a mic. Can anyone confirm this?
