Macally iVoice III: Will it work on a 2G touch, firmware 2.2?

I was at Walmart buying a case for the 2G touch I just got, and I saw an iPod microphone. I believe it was the Macally iVoice III. Later I got this idea and wondered if I could use that and Fring to hook up to Skype.

So, has anyone used this mic with a 2G touch, version 2.2? Specifically with Fring?

Oh, update, I hunted around a little more, and I saw a video on YouTube that says you have to open it up and solder a wire to two points on the board to make it work with touch.

Hmm... I'll have to see if I'm up to that.

I can't speak for the 2G model, but the iVoice III works perfectly out of the box on my 1G. No modding required now.

Hi!
I would love to be able to do voice recordings on my first gen. What app are you using? Thanks in advance for your advice.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot. If it doesn't work, I've been looking at Apple's headphones with the microphone. I might pick up a pair of those. I bet they'll work. 🙂
