[ARSCLIST] flash recorders

[Tom Fine <tflists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, this is called the "basics" column, so maybe not enough techno info for many, but here's a 
little intro piece on flash recorders.

BTW, just as CF cards have come down about 50% in price in the last 12 months, I think now that this 
is an established market, the next generation will be substantially cheaper. I could see something 
akin to the M-Audio costing $150 eventually.

BTW2, what's the news on Apple? A recording iPod soon? Two cool possibilites: 1) a "recorder pod" 
that is a cradle with a stereo mic, line input and record-control buttons.  Recorder would allow WAV 
or ALF or Apple MP4 formats. 2) a "DVR pod" that is a cradle that hooks to a digital camera via 
firewire and allows 60 gigs of recording space for video.
