Maybe I’m missing something. My question, and I can’t be the only one thinking this, is how do you edit the audio you record using this device?

When you sync your iPod, your recording gets copied to your computer, where you can edit like you would any other audio recording.
Ahhhh … thanks for the clarification on that. It seemed useless to me otherwise. Not everyone gets a recording right on the first take.
Looks very nice at the price.
I currently own a ZOOM H2, field recorder and wonder if this would have any advantage? The H2 for raw, first pass recordings is pretty incredible and serves its purpose well. The Gostudio would seem to eliminate a step, but would it title the recording as a memo right to my iPod? Sample recordings seem very clear, and so does the H2. Any input for comparison? Thanks.
Works with iPhone 3GS using voice memo. No need to get separate iPod.
