reports are surfacing that one of the features of the new video-enabled ipod is a stereo voice recording mode, at a very respectable 44.1khz. coupled with a decent mic and preamp (sure to be released shortly by 3rd party vendors), you’ve got yourself a nice pocket-sized field recording system. you guys who love live wilco bootlegs will have a lot more to listen to soon.
in the comments section of the above link, some readers comment that by installing linux on older ipods, you can record at 96khz in stereo, line level. responded to with some criticisms of that recording setup, recommending other players that have built in mics, etc. one of those pages that is full of interesting info.
