Gadget lover's dream

Well, maybe not, but this USB MP3 Pen + FM Radio + Voice Recorder looked pretty damned good for under fifty bucks.

From the blurb:
# 512 MB flash memory
# MP3
# FM Radio
# Built-in microphone for voice recording
# Data storage
# Memo taking
# Mobile data storage and exchange
# Easy to view, edit, and copy files
# Dimension: 148x18mm
# Weight: 50g
# Support Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP, Linux or Mac Os

It's that last item, Linux support, that settled it. No line in, but I wouldn't use it in something this small anyway. Probably no ogg, either, but I can live with that too. No telling how long it'll take to ship from Hong Kong, and it would have been nice to have for the trip to Westercon in San Diego, but I bought it anyway.

Arrived July 11. It looks to the OS like a USB floppy drive: there's no partition table, just a single VFAT filesystem on the device.
