How about the MiniDisc recorders. They are very good quality (some claim 99.9% of the CD quality), and very affordable (i.e. $200 range). Also, consider PocketPC running Linux or Windoze (iPaq with the coresound's addition), although this might get messy (in terms of transferring large files onto the main computer via USB 1.0 protocol) and possibly rather expensive.
