I want to find something very inexpensive in part because I want to share it with lots of teachers, who may want to purchase a device like this themselves. I'd love to buy a <a href="http://www.roland.com/products/en/R-09/index.html" rel="nofollow">Roland R-09</a> too, but like the MAudio it's on the pricey side. Thanks for the feedback and suggestions, though. The MAudio MicroTrack would definitely be my top choice if I had the extra cash!

It is professional grade sound, can take professional mics (but has an included one that is great) and it is not very large (about the size of a deck of cards). It has a rechargeable battery and a lot of settings. There is an educational price on it that is quite a bit below retail. I don't remember exactly what we paid, but I think it was right around $400. It's still not cheap, but that 20% under retail. Wes,

Have you looked at these? PS... great job on the online conf!! Wes,

The USB flash drive functionality with the keychain adapter is good to know about too! That is great Steve, I am glad to hear your experiences with the iAudio U2 have been positive.

One of the reasons I purchased it was for the FM radio which has been great when I am outside, but not so much in. I must say I am a novice at best audio recorder, but I did use the device to record a speech from the back of a large classroom. I think with a little help from Audacity I could polish up the white noise and have an acceptable recording. The device is small and like the iRiver has a necklace so you can wear and record while presenting. I also like the fact that it has two different USB connectors. While both do the same thing, I believe the keychain adapter makes the U2 into a passable USB Flash drive. I wish I could share a few more examples of how I've actually used it, but so far I've only downloaded a few podcasts and added an mp3 or two to listen to.
