What brand/model did you get?

I'm looking into a 'dedicated'quality mic for my iPod touch too. I want to use it to record AND also be able to 'live monitor' while recording as well.

I'm currently considering the Blue Mikey, but out of the box, this mic (when plugged into the dock at the bottom of the iPod Touch) BLOCKS the iPod Touch's headphone jack. To solve this problem you'll need a dock extender to allow access to the headphone jack for audio monitoring. I bought THIS ONE

Ok, I nearly pulled the trigger to buy the original Blue Mikey the other day, but just learned that Blue announced at CES that they will be soon releasing a new feature enhancement of a 'line input' jack, allowing you to rec out from your keyboard into the iPhone/iPod Touch via stereo line in jack. This is definitely the one I've got my eyes on.
