Apple iPhone 3G S

Audio Features (1.75)

Audio is recorded in mono, not stereo. Some ultra-compact camcorders, like the Flip Ultra and UltraHD offer stereo recording, while the Mino series does not. The Sony Webbie camcorders are also mono. How important is it? Well, one school of thought would say that the video is pretty cheap looking, so why not the audio, too? However, we think that's a bad attitude. Also, it's important to consider the fact that your audience is more apt to be bothered on bad audio than bad video, something hammered home in every film student's Production 101 class.

The microphone is located on the bottom of the iPhone. Most protective cases make room for sound to pass through undisturbed. Just remember not to cover it with your thumb.

The speakers and built-in mic are on the bottom.
