I alsmost bought the iTouch but will wait for prices to come down and features to become a bit more open -- 3rd party app accessible etc. And a voice recorder. For your podcasting pleasure, I highly recommend This American Life. They recently aired a repeat called Middle of Nowhere where Nauru was featured prominently (in "Act I"). You'd appreciate it. The Sound of Young America is also surprisingly good. (Full disclosure -- both are distributed by PRI, my employer). Have a great Xmas...whereever you'll be! Nice gadgets, Gary.

Still, I know exactly what you mean - I can't travel now without a decent MP3 player.

I am interested in the Sanyo HD and when I saw the wide angle lens I was also intrigued. How do you like it? I absolutely loved my C4 and have yet to figure out which of the new Sanyo's I want, probably the E1 because it is waterproof so I can continue to make "on the water" podcasts. Also I see that you said you have a lot of wires with you. I have been using an iGo Juice for over 6 years now and it has powered all my computers (at least 4 different laptops from different makers) and peripherals (I've lost count) in that time. I love it and it is much easier to travel with than a bunch of wires. Just and FYI. Also, excellent blog I am subscribed via RSS and glad that I have done so. Gary,
