Query:	I'm looking for an extremely small and portable recording device to use while doing fieldwork this summer. The ideal machine would be pocket size, would have a built-in voice activated mic, hi-sensitivity, have removable/replaceable media, but ideally would not use tape (I don't like tape: a magnetic or optical medium would be ideal.). I'd like to be able to just walk into a situation, switch it on, and have it record everything that happens. Any suggestions?

If there's enough interest, I'll generate a summary. - Norvin Richards
