there's also the fact that no security guard is ever going to give you shit about bringing an ipod into a show.

sure, but the recorder itself is bigger than the ipod, and you still have to bring that one in...

i am interested because i think the ipod classic 160 gb @ $350 is a great buy for listening to music and for data storage. i am looking forward to more information. there are no specs on the website  it is likely that i will spend more time listening to music than taping, and if this thing is good, i won't have to carry multiple devices and i can have my entire library available at all times  lets see...

You can actually RockBox 5G iPods if you don't like the Apple interface which isn't ideal for taping.  I have a 5G 30 gig and it's just fine for playback (although a lot of my hipster musician friends all hate iPods...one even goes as far as to say it has a crappy headphone amp and won't drive low impedance headphones...maybe I should test illconditioned's Sony 7506's with my iPod to see if there's any truth to this) but I would rather use something like an R-09 which is 24 bit capable.
Question is, if you use a RockBoxed 5G iPod, will it work with the new Alesis hardware?  Maybe someone should post this on the RockBox forum.
