what kind of quality do you need?

I got one three years ago (they don't sell it anymore, I think), it's an archos Ondio.
Not the best, and also has some noise, but the quality is good enough for some recordings.

The best thing is when some nice fellows created a better non-official firmware which improves everything, it even alows you to play games and see movies (very poor quality, but the idea is very nice!).

I looking for one as well. I want one that I can use a lapel mic so I can record my sermons. Then import it to iTunes for burning to CD.
God bless You.

I recently picked up a package deal from BSW which included a Marantz PMD6660, a Seinnheiser mic, Sony headphones and bag. The recording quality on this gear blew me away.

I had purchased a mic for my iPod which does so-so recording. The setup above is pricey, but the results are great. At least for me it has proven to be a great investment.

EDIT: I forgot to mention this device records to CF Memory and comes with a 64MB card. It has a USB connector and you hook it up right to your Mac.
