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!"
I am sure 2.0 is great and all, but to be quite honest I really don't mind that my player doesnt have it. I mean all i want to do is watch the movie and I could really care less about any D/L content or interactive features.
