"Great" because iPod's native sample rate is low (8000 khz) and you need to practice a bit to understand positioning relative to how loud the speaker talks and background noise, but for ease-of-use, I've been really happy with it. It's unobtrusively small, can be mounted to a belt clip for that fast record-on-the-fly you-get-only-one-shot-at-getting-a-record-of-this kinda situation.
Workflow. It automatically syncs with iTunes, where you can metadata your heart out. It outputs .wav files that I import to Audacity where I cut out the annoying "spffft" you get on hitting "record" among other editing things.
Disclaimer: I work recording fine audio for a living so embrace the imperfection of this recording setup because of its ease, imperfections and limitations.
Best,
Jan

Yeah, so it's probably stupid to say this my not having done my homework yet, but I was considering doing some recording too, and I heard someone mention iPod. I heard the new ones recorded audio now, but haven't yet begun to research the issue. I know in the past you had to install podzilla (the linux firmare) or buy a third party gadget. Are there any other options, and has anyone any experience or recommendations?

This is perhaps slightly off-topic, but I don't know who else to turn to.
I'm going to vloggercon and I plan on recording interviews. For various
practical reasons they'll be audio only, so I need to figure out how to
record those. Problem is: I don't know anything.
I imagine that I need to buy an mp3-player/recorder and a microphone, but
I could really use some advice on what to get. Will any mp3-player with a
line-in work fine and can you recommend a specific model? What kind of mic
should I get if I want the voice(s) of my victims come through, but no the
ambient noise of rowdy videobloggers? And can you recommend a model?
I *am* on a budget, the university sadly won't pay for this (sucks!)
