I've been looking into what James suggested - that is, recording on your iPod...

Here are a couple of "add-ons" for the iPod I've read about...

Belkin TuneTalk

MicroMemo

There are a few reviews of these and also the iTalk James mentioned if you search around...

I haven't tried any of these out (yet) though! (Right now I'm getting by on a cheap MP3 player with a record function, which is fine for my purposes but the quality is not suitable for podcasting or broadcasting).

I've used an Olympus voice recorder before (mine is an Olympus DS-330). However, the problem is I've misplaced the installation CD, and I got a new computer. Olympus doesn't have the drivers online for you to download (they have a "downloads" section online, but they're mostly upgrades if you have the software already - none are the actual drivers you need). Also, because mine is an "old" model (about 3 years), I've received no support whatsoever from Olympus - I can't even buy a replacement for the CD (since it's not a current model). That means I now have no way of transferring files from the Olympus to my new computer. So - I would only recommend an Olympus if you never lose the CD that comes with it... Put the CD in a safe or something like that. Since what I have right now is an expensive Olympus paperweight... (However, the product was pretty good - until I needed any support from Olympus.)

Please give us an update once you find something!
