That’s right, Voxie works on the First Generation iPod Touch. You can thank two of our customers who tested this and helped make this happen. Thanks Shaun and Skatt.

What will you need:
1. The 2.2 firmware update.
2. A compatible mic (this is the important part as most aren’t compatible)

The “Audio In” on the iPod Touch First Gen is in the dock connector and NOT in the headphone jack. It acts more like a normal iPod than a 2nd Gen iPod or iPhone. So, dock connector mics are the only ones that will work, but some may not work. To be clear, the Apple earbuds with integrated mic that comes with the iPhone will not work.

Please help us come up with a complete list of mic’s by responding to this post with your comments and experience in getting the iPod First Gen to work with Voxie. So far we have been told by customers that will work:

Macally iVoice III
Macally iVoicePro
Both are sold at many online retailers and also at TouchMic.com.

And customers have told us these do NOT work or has some issues:
Griffin iTalk Pro (also not listed as compatible with 1G Touch)
Belkin TuneTalk (see user comments on this post as there has been some issues using this one)

Note that the manufacturer of the mic might not even know it works for this application. This is something our customers helped us figure out.

But we’re certain a lot more mics will work just fine. So try yours and post a comment letting everyone know what works.

This is great for First Gen iPod Touch owners. Thanks Apple!
