MobileViews Mini-cast 3: Pocket PC w/Ext. Microphone Audio T...
Psionandy asked if I had tried using an external microphone to make an audio recording with a Pocket PC. Most Windows Mobile Pocket PCs and Smartphones do not support using an external microphone to make audio recording (although they do support it for phone calls). However, I do have one Pocket PC that does provide this feature: An old Dell Axim X50v Pocket PC. The first segment of this recording was made using the Axim's internal mic. The second segment use a wired dynamic mic plugged in to the headphone jacks. You can hear a couple of drop-out in that segment. I'm not sure what caused it.

I recorded this sample audio file on an HTC S710 (Vox) Windows Mobile 6 smartphone. Audacity was used to convert the WAV audio file to an MP3 file. I also used Audacity's Normalize function which increased the volume a bit.
Sidenote: Audacity 1.26 does not run under Windows Vista. However, the 1.3.3 Beta release does run under Vista.
Windows Mobile Pocket PC Sound Quality Check
This audio file contains two brief segments. The first segment was recorded using a Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 USB microphone. The second segment was recorded using a Windows Mobile 6 Pocket PC with automatic audio gain turned on. Both were recorded in the same room with a large Voronado fan turned on to simulate a noisy environment. The purpose of this test is to help determine if a Pocket PC or Smartphone could be used as an audio recording device to create a podcast.
