If you’ve ever wanted a good excuse to take your iPhone into class, how about using it to record your lectures?  That’s what iPhone Recorder offers, together with the ability to directly record audio to ringtones without any computer essential or any conversion processes in-between.  Dynamic volume adjustment, channel and bitrate control, and a choice of mp3, mp4 and aac file formats round out a decent range of options; you can plus directly attach them to an mail from the app itself.

Now for the poor news: developer DreamCatcher is asking $29.95 for iPhone Recorder, which seems a bit steep for an audio recorder, even one as fully featured as that one is.  It’ll be interesting to see what happens once the Apple App Store opens for business; right now iPhone Recorder requires a Jailbroken handset, but when public start finding their software the official way it’ll be far easier for developers to get freeware apps into the catalogue.  Will there be a market for thirty-buck voice recorders by next?
