Harry,

Depends on the need.  I have a Sony PCM-D1 Linear PCM Recorder.  Larger than 
your hand, top end, very professional.  I recorded an investment class I took 
for three days.  Got every sound in the room, pages turning, door opening.  It 
is awesome, so much so the professor ask me to combine the work and make a CD 
that could be mailed to the other attendees.  I't for recording professional 
work. Expensive.

I also use a very small Sony ICD-R100 that is years old.  I keep this in the 
door pocket of the car and as I drive and hear something or see something I 
want to record it's great for this.  Good sound quality, easy to use.  When I 
was doing all the work for our 50 year class reunion for about a year I was 
continually listening to my iPod where I store the thousands of songs and as I 
would hear one that I could use for the production I was forever making a note 
of it on this little machine.

Another great recorder I have is the adapter for an iPod from Blue called the 
Mikey.  This voice recorder plugs into the plug of the iPod and turns it into a 
great recorder.  I used it to record a meeting one day on my iPod classic.  It 
did a fantastic job, got every voice in the fairly large room......but when I 
went to listen to the recording I would hear the hard drive spin up as more 
space was needed for the recording....it's that good.  So, if this adapter were 
used with a solid state drive such as the iTouch it would also work great but 
not be a fast and quick use machine as the small Sony so it really depends on 
your needs.

John
