Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"

Yeah, like why would consumers "care" about technology that has NOT yet been released!
How can we know "what" we are supposedly great about this technology? Just get it released it in the future, talk/review it, and then we'll all be "in the know" about what the "fuss" is about, oomkay?
I'll tell you something that's starting to get noticed - some of the Warner films on HD DVD include a lossless Dolby True HD soundtrack (along with the lossy Dolby Digital Plus track), yet the same title on Blu-ray DOES NOT - available only in standard "Dolby Digital" or no Dolby track at all!
SUPERMAN RETURNS is an example of this, along with 2-3 other popular Warner films. Yet another reason to be disappointed with the Blu-ray "beyond high definition" format! Go HD DVD.
Sounds like something to complain to Warner about. It's not the format's fault.
