It is a possible. But I don't feel comfortable (physically) holding the phone (so that the microphone is closer to me). I have a nice mic on my PC which has good quality. I think the phone is for making telephone calls. I have another option though, to use it on the iPad. But I still hope that I can resolve the PC issue.
