Portable digital recorders?

[at0m]

I've been using iriver's H340 for some time. The H3x0 series has excellent converters for field recording, and superb battery life (over 10hrs w built-in batteries, check the extra's packs this box has:), but it has no XLR inputs.

Check out how versatile it is using the Rockbox OS!! My favorite features are the 30sec pre-recording (from line/mic-in, built-in mic, FM radio to near lots of formats), the convertors, 40GB disk, and of course rockbox' games ;) Who cares for 32bit 96kHz solely for recording? I don't, see discussion of that in other topics here on Z.

Iriver stopped producing this box about 2yrs ago, I was so happy when I finally found a forgotten 40Gb unit somewhere. A bit like the Studio Projects B1 which I found in Dijon, France, last week, at about 40% of its original price. It was lying in a forgotten corner of some music shop :]
