You can buy an iPod Touch for not much more than some of the more expensive metronomes. You can get the same apps as the iPhone for it, which, as David said, are inexpensive or free. You will also be able to get the wonderful Cleartune app for all of $5, which will surely satisfy even the most hardcore early music nerd's temperament fetish. Plus, you can play games on it. I have (free) Skype on mine and use it to talk to my wife (for free) when I'm out of town. I've got videos of my kids on it. I can get weather reports and restaurant reviews with it. I think it may even have some sort of music-playing feature. ;-)
