The iPhone hacking community has come a long in the couple months since the iPhone was released, under extensibility lockdown. Not only can you now get an iPhone “out of jail”, there are a growing set of useful native applications.

The combination of the adaptive multi-rate format, the iPhone speakerphone, and ad hoc recording scenarios produces a suprisingly solid outcome when combined with the freely available Levelator tool. Check this short video for a how-to.

This looks really interesting any word on dev for this under the sdk?
We used this technique earlier today to record our latest (third) podcast for readcomics.org. I used switch to convert to .wav, and added id3 tags with iTunes, but other than having to figure out my phone’s default root pw, the process was flawless.
oh, I also edited with garage band rather than audacity… mostly to try it out. I’ve used audacity before though, and it’s great too.
