Griffin Tech. IMIC USB Audio Interface

Strengths: Much better/noiseless connection versus the built-in headphone jack on my PowerBook. Excellent sound quality. Microphone jack. No software needed.

Griffin Tech. IMIC USB Audio Interface

Weakness: It does not work and Griffin does not reply to emails to customer service.
