Alright, maybe I've been had or something, or maybe you all already know about this, but check this out...
I opened my RSS feed reader today and in one of my folders with tech-related feeds, a post about the new PMD620 was there (in the reader). But when I clicked through I got a 404 not found. So I was like WTF? Then, of course, do the obligatory search on google, and sure enough there's only this (former) reference.
I think they leaked it by accident or something. Sounds like a Marantz rep was there giving a demo, but I'm wondering why the specs and the photo aren't there any more?
Any of you heard about this yet? If not, TS is all up in the scoop and sh*t, LMAO...
Cause I still had the goods in my cache, heh... You can thank me later...
Here's what it said:
Today at the Podcast Academy, Ontario Ca., Marantz Professional introduced
the brand new PMD620 Solid State Portable Recorder. This is the newest edition
to their acclaimed line of professional recording devices. The PMD 620 sports
a pocket size form factor, easy to use menu interface buttons, internal mics,
and a convenient built in speaker. It is designed to be used in may markets,
including podcasting and broadcasting.

The top of the PMD620 houses a pair of high quality omnidirectional condenser
mics for convenient recording. This device also provides an 1/8″ input
for external plugin mono or stereo microphones, with +5v phantom power for
electret condensers. The PMD620 can record 16 or 24bit resolution audio [mono
or stereo] direct to SD flash memory in the WAV or MP3 file formats. The
display screen uses state of the art OLED technology resulting in sharp,
bright references with low power consumption.
The PMD620 uses 2 x AA Alkaline or NiMH batteries for up to 5 hours of operation.
