One of the most under utilized features of the iPhone is the mic. considering there is no way to sync text back and forth amoung iPhones and computers (well, officially anyways) the next best option would’ve been a Widget that records sound inputs from the mic. While Apple hasn’t provided us with such a Widget Eric Sadun of TUAW has.

The Application is basic but is a huge improvement regarding third party Apps on the iPhone. What that App does is record all sound inputs from the mic into an Adaptive Multi-rate formatted file. While you can’t choose the filename you want, the size of said file and how distant the recording lasts

is visible from the App.

I haven’t tried that Application out for myself as I cannot use the appropriate tools on my PowerPC based Mac Mini but I do propose a word of caution, whether you do not know what you are doing you could brick your iPhone and run the risk of iTunes being unable to restore it, your warranty could be voided as well.

whether you would like more knowledge on how to install that Application on your iPhone I recommend checking up on the TUAW comments and visiting the iPhone Dev Wiki.
