I’m still playing around with the idea of podcasts for my two main blogs (this one – MobileViews – and my Freeware/Open Source blog – OgasaWalrus). The Blogr web service that lets me easily post Podcasts and even videos has been a huge factor in working towards this goal. They just applied a fix to let their users email audio files directly from a mobile device and post it as a podcast. I recorded a short audio clip on my T-Mobile Dash and posted it today. You can find all 14 seconds of it at…

There are, however, two problems I need to deal with before I will feel comfortable with the process. First, Windows Mobile smartphones appeared locked in at 11KHz for recordings. I would really prefer to record at 44KHz. Second, even at 11KHz, the resulting WAV file is pretty large (e.g., 14 seconds = 320KB). This can take a long time to upload using the pokey ol’ T-Mobile EDGE network (and, no, I don’t want to move to AT&T Wireless or Sprint/Verizon). So, I need to find an audio recorder that can produce smaller MP3 files. Three apps that look interesting are Resco Recorder, Vito SoundExplorer, and Vito AudioNotes. Unfortunately, only AudioNotes works on a Smartphone. The other two are for Pocket PCs.
Any comments on those three apps would be appreciated. And, any recommendations beyond those three apps would also be appreciated.

I would recommend VITO AudioNotes as it offers recording with different quality in mp3 and wav audio formats. Moreover this is practically single windows mobile phone call recorder on the market that records phone calls on some WM 6 smartphones and pocket pc.
I am currently using Vito AudioNotes. This app is really useful for me as it has so many useful features and different record formats. To know more about its features, see http://vitotechnology.com/manual/audionotes_sm/index.html.
