For a few days I've been a proud owner of a Tascam stereo mic for iPhone.
To be tested in the next few!

I use a Tascam DR-08 and am very happy with it. The little microphones built in
give pretty decent sound reproduction, but I have tried several higher quality
plug in mics with better results, (Or, if there is a sound man at a concert, I
have had him plug the unit directly into the soundboard through the headphone
output using a 1/4 to 1/8 inch stereo converter). I have a friend with a Sony
who loves it as well. As with digital encoding, the process of encoding a
signal is the same, regardless of what unit. WHat matter most is the fidelity
of the microphone, and so the smaller units (like the Tascam) do best with a
higher quality mic.

i've used the Zoom H2 quite a lot.
It depends on how much you want to spend, and what you mean by CD quality.
.and how portable.
The Zoom certain gets excellent results considering that it fits in the pocket
alongside plenty of left over cash.
If you're going to be recording your own cd then you'll really benefit
from studio quality condenser mics, and good preamps.
If you already have a laptop it's possible to work out an excellent
portable system without frightening expense.
(more info if that's the way you want to go).
