does this work on the iPhone 5?

Nope - Definitely does not work with my iphone or any other I've tried from 4-6 - It's a mic that is meant to be used with a recorder and I've even had trouble using it with battery operated recorders (in that it doesn't work)Cut and Paste from another better informed reviewer reveals:This microphone will not work with the iPad, iPhone, or iPod, as many users have discovered, for two reasons:1: The jacks on these devices are non-standard2: The microphone requires power from the device to which it is connected.While browsing through the comments today, I came across a reference which I immediately checked out, and I learned that these Apple devices do have excitation power available for external electret microphones, but a special adaptor is needed to access the power connection. One supplier of such adaptors is Their web-site describes the configuration of the jacks in the Apple devices, and lists a number of adaptors and cables to connect unpowered electret microphones, such as this Olympus ME-52W, to them.

can this be used with a regular pc computer?

In most cases, no. The reasons are discussed in my comments on this microphone, the first one on this page.The audio inputs in most computers are not intended for microphones. They are "high-level" inputs, requiring at least one volt of audio (from the output of an MP3 player, a radio, or an amplifier), and this microphone is a "low-level" device, that delivers only about .1 volt or so. In addition, this microphone requires "excitation voltage" of between 1.5 and 10 volts, which is not available from the audio-input jacks in most computers, for the reason just described.To be used in most computers, this mic requires a "pre-amplifier" that supplies the necessary voltage. However, iPads, iPhones, and iPods supply that voltage, but they have non-standard jacks, and an adaptor is required to operate this microphone in those devices.Finally, this microphone is a monophonic device, so a mono-to-stereo splitter adaptor is required, unless the recording device has a built-in switch to accommodate mono inputs. These adaptors are available at electronics stores and Radio Shack, Walmart, and Best Buy.The simplest solution for use on computers is a USB microphone.

can use with android device?

Yes. I just tested it with my phone - a Motorola Razr Maxx HD running Android 4.1.2. The sound quality is great.

can this mic be plugged directly into a computer microphone jack, or does it require some other recording device?

Yes, I use it for hands free mic in my car. This is a pretty decent mic for the money.
