As far as I know, all these cheap condeser mics sound amazing for what they cost. Most are made by just a few chinese companies, too. I doubt you can go wrong with any of them. Here is one I have used, and it sounded great:

It is unusual looking, but I liked the looks. The built in stand is nice. kj.
edit: for what it's worth, we used it with an ipad and garageband. I was impressed there were no issues whatsoever.

I would take a chance on a Chinese condenser from Musicians Friend or Sweetwater. They have a good return policy.

That's a good point. Guitar Center is even better if you have one in town (even if you buy it online). I think you can get any of the mics mentioned here at GC or Musicians Friend. kj.

If you call Musicians Friend or Sweetwater, ask the rep to recommend one for SPEAKING VOICE.

Don't get one at Radio Shack.

Can't go wrong with a portable condensor mic. $40 - Samson. USB Go Mic.

Can't really comment on their USB selection, but I had friends who were enamored of the Bottles and Baby Bottles.
