Am I seeing the spec list correctly? Do you HAVE to use an Ipod with this thing? If that's the case I say "thumbs down". Way to save on production cost in the long run too. Just give a shell with attached mics and inputs to dock with an Ipod.., and you the buyer provide the actual "guts" for the recorder. Not exactly small either. I saw the vid...., and I think Zoom has nothing to worry about. What happends if your Ipod crashes or breaks? If it costs as much as the Zoom then again I say "thumbs down".

It's going to be about $200... PLUS, of course, an iPod. To only record 16 bit audio. For less money, the H2 blows this away (or was that too aggressive? ) and doesn't NEED an iPod (BTW, recording 16 bit audio chews up your iPod's battery because the drive cannot spin down much). Plus, it can record for DAYS at an MP3 rate, records surround sound, has TWO different mike pairs, is smaller, lighter and just plain better... Sorry, Alesis. A swing and a miss
