Dmitry Grinberg obviously has loads of spare time and ingeniousity. Anyways, I just saw a demo video showing a TX beeing able to record audio. While I cannot yet fully gurantee that the video is real, it is hard to see anything that makes it look fake”ish”:

Anyways, according to Dmitry, Palm has an A/D converter in most of the models currently existing and based on the PXA27x processor(not Zire 22 though). If I recall correctly, already the Tungsten T3 had an additional I/O chip on its motherboard-and if Palm kept the chip, it obviously is possible to add voice recording. Replacing the capacitor with a microphone leads to an, um, working voice record function on the TX.
The big question that arises is of course: why did Palm then refuse to implement voice recording straight away. Are there any long-term problems with it? The future will show. However, as far as I know Dmitry currently, I am pretty sure that this will work well actually!
it is real. i filmed it 3 minutes before sending it in with my TH. Then ran through WinMPGConvert, converting it to AVI and then posted it online.
Great new!
Long ago we have a discussion on brighthand about stereo possibility on TC:
http://discussion.brighthand.com/palmhandhelds/showthread.php?threadid=39867
some suggestion came up with accessories, but think of the 2.5mm stereo handset with mic is so common now (used in Treo600, 650 and O2mini etc) wonder why didn’t Palm release TX with a mic??
woot! That makes the TX the best palm. Stable, fast and full of features.
Now, dmitry figure out a way to make a skype client
P.S.: Anybody in for buying my lifedrive? Or changing it for the TX?

Modifican un Palm T|X para que grabe sonido
Mientras Palm insista en lanzar nuevos modelos sin grabación de voz, la de Pocket PC seguirá siendo la única versión de Skype que permite hablar por teléfono a través de Internet con un ordenador de mano. Pero un programador ruso ha modificado su…
At the end of the day - is there a way to operate skype on a palm tx? If so - HOW?

Hi,
sorry, but AFAIK now. However, VoIP seems to be possible very soon!

Can I use this microphone buildin to Tungsten E2 ?
Can somebody show me an upgraded working PCB ?
[...] Sin embargo, como se comenta en TamsPalm y CanalPDA, ya se las ingeniaron para hacer que la TX grabe audio sin problemas. El conocido Dmitry Grinberg, creador de programas como UDMH, WarpSpeed, PowerDigi, realizo un modd interno instalando un microfono, pues da la casualidad que todos los modelos Palm con procesador Intel PXA usan la misma PCB, y en el modelo TX tan solo no incluyeron el microfono, pero los conectores para instalar uno estan ahi mismo.
