Best way to record lectures for podcasts using an iPhone

I'd like to use the Voice Recorder app from the App store to record lectures given to my students to use as podcasts. I doubt the iPhone mic has the ability to pick up voice from the distances that would separate me from the iPhone while lecturing. My question is, what distance could I get if I used a bluetooth headset to capture my voice to the iPhone? I'd likely be any where from 3 to 15 feet from the phone during lecture.

I'd also welcome other suggestions as to how I could use the iPhone for voice recording, instead of buying a separate voice recorder gadget to make my podcasts.

Thanks in advance.

Mike, I use my iPod for recording my lectures, with the little MicroMemo microphone that plugs into the bottom. Clip mic to my shirt, slide iPod into my shirt pocket. I publish to our iTunes U. Runs good.

But iPhone would be a sweet variation on that, especially with the bluetooth idea. Unfortunately, I do not have an iPhone yet. 😟
