I like to browse, always looking for the best bang for the $$$ :)
Here's screen-captures of the pages, 2008-01-01, for offline reference. The file-sizes were too big to upload as attachments. The couple free image-hosts I tried resized the images or diminished the quality, making the text more difficult to read. So these are download links to the unscaled and 'clearer' image files, not direct links to the images themselves.

Yeah. I make this sort of mistake every year around this time.

Thank you for posting those charts! Will definitely come in handy while I'm shopping around.
Thanks! Not in the market, but it's still nice to have a bunch of them lined up to compare.

Here's another chart listing specifications for many small recorders.
The chart was updated in November 2008.
