Griffin Technology has released a free iPod/iPhone app called iTalk that let’s you use the microphone of the iPhone to make recordings:
iTalk Recorder lets you record, pause, resume and append to existing recordings, manage the list of your recordings, and add text notes, all on the touchscreen of your iPhone or iPod.
You can then sync the recordings to your Mac or PC using the (also free) iTalk Sync application:
iTalk Sync is a dedicated app you run on your Mac or PC that searches your Wi-Fi connection to find any iPhone or iPod touch that’s running iTalk. It lets you drag recordings from your iPhone or iPod to your computer’s desktop.
iTalk seems like a great way to capture quick song ideas or record brief interviews with other guitarists.

Yes, I downloaded iTalk on my iPhone. I also like the free YouNote App – lets you record sound, take pics, text, and even a etch-a-sketch type function.
Don’t know if you’re an iPhone user yourself but have you tried Guitarist or Band yet?
I love the voice memo recording functions. I was pretty upset when I learned that my replacement phone( after I dropped my original about 50 times) did not have that feature.
I always used it to record small ideas for songs, as well as recording some of my favorite guitarists’ solos at concerts for later listening and enjoyment.
