Partly because of the chunky buttons – but also, I’ve tried built-in mics on portable mp3 devices and vastly prefer the results of the Sony cassette deck. Mp3 player mics are made to be dictaphone quality, it seems.

I also think I want something that is podcast-specific. Something that simply plugs in and knows how to do the RSS enclosures, ftp transfers and filenaming all by itself.

Set and forget. Record, and then press ‘send to internet’ button.

All new technologies should just have a ‘make it go’ button. That, I think, would be good design.

Nice concept to house this in a retro box, but many MP3 players (‘billions’ like the iPods in the adds on your page currently in use) have recording ability and a built in mic, USB or firewire port…

Why not just use one of them — record, (edit), upload…?
