So there's a lot of chatter in the channel right now about the announcements Apple is supposed to make this afternoon. Supposedly the "given" is a release of iTunes for Windows, which should be a huge moneymaker. Great, swell, I don't care. What interests me is the possible release of a microphone for the iPod. What with all the driving I've been doing lately, I'd love a microphone to attach to my iPod so I can dictate story ideas, song ideas, mental notes, etc. for later transcription. Bonus coolness if possible: use something like ViaVoice to actually do automatic transcription. C'mon, Apple. Make me a happy boy this afternoon. :)

(And, yeah, if it means I've got to pony up for a 3rd generation iPod, so be it.)
