I heave had very good results with this product from Mobile Planet:
http://www.mobileplanet.com/product.asp?code=106425
It adapts the T|C's mono output to drive standard stereo headphone output
through a standard stereo headphone jack. It also has, for your needs, a
built-in microphone with a button to signal the "phone" (the T|C) that you
want to make a call (record a voice memo). I use it for quick notes all the
time - simply pushing the little button launches voice recorder.
Unfortunatly, plugging and unplugging the adapter sometimes launches voice
recorder as well... I think the plug makes a contact in the socket that
makes T|C think somebody pushed the mike button on the adapter. The T|C uses
a non-standard plug configuration, forcing you to buy a palm product - this
work-around product actually works better because I have a favorite set of
headphones I like to listen to books on. Good Luck.

I think you need a special headset purchased from palm themselves. A cell
phone headset won't work from what I remember. I have my Tungsten C for
almost three years and although I haven't really used that feature other
than to see if and how it works I'm very happy with it.

I found that a Nokia headset worked fine.
The connection in the T|C uses what looks like a standard connection -
but rather than running in stereo, it uses one path for in and the
other for out. I presume that it is wired the same way as a Nokia
phone - hence - pressing to talk on a Nokia microphone did wake up the
voice recorder on the Palm.
However, I only ever used it once or twice and have since lost the
headset.

I googled "voice memo Tungsten C" and came across an article that said
the device has the same headphone jack as Nokia phones ...

I have never tried a Nokia branded headset, but have used a variety of
clone headsets on a variety of Tungsten Cs.

A few didn't work at all, a few crashed the TC each time after each
headset button press.

I did find one clone which sounded OK (better than the built-in mic on
T3). However, periodically it would crash the TC: Sometimes on button
press, some times after dictating for a bit I'd look down and see the
TC was rebooting.

Never successfully traced the problem.

Which voice record are you using?

If you googled "Google groups" you might also find that I said the
same thing here (comp.sys.palmtops.pilot) back in June 2003
