IF they release firmware upgrades to:

[1] support WAV recording
[2] provide level meters (since there's field-usable digi-in I can see)

Then...absolutely.

Interesting.  Virtually no mention of the specs on the audio section... Does it suck so bad they can't mention it?

I had a Commadore 128

I didn't see anything about a digi-in...  Seems like you can get the same functionality out of devices already out.

what is this?

USB Host (DSC/Card Readers)

does this mean it can accept and record a USB signal on the fly?

Also, it has the 5V DC we all love so much.

I believe it means you can upload your pictures from a memory card directly to the device without a reader.

And BTW, you'll probably never find a device that will connect to a pre or a/d over USB and be able to record the audio without a computer.  It would have to be made specifically for that purpose (drivers and OS would need to be written) and there is just no market for that...

John Kelly not Kelley, like the new description, but it is a manbag damnit!

Yeah well, I didn't come up with the saying.  I just put it under my name.

I had a Vic20, with a cassette tape storage device...hee-hee ! 

[jpschust]

think you can play pong on it?

[Chapper]

I'm holding out for the TRS-80 recorder.

I used to program Basic (arghhh !) and assembler on the Vic20 and had a few cartridge games, Gorf was my favorite, sort of Space Invaders rip-off. 1979 was the last time that I played a video game, and Gorf was it. 

I have pong in the attic. Not the collectable original, the four-game-pack later version.
It's physically huge.
