The Uni I work at has just started a trial on portable MP3 players, for recording lectures... with the aim of streaming them in a format students are familiar with, are fairly small per our of voice.
We currently have four recorders on order (two memory card, two hard drive) to see which works best. Hopefully in a few years time you'll be able to wirelessly use your palm/player to download and play lectures in the common room or park.
It beats lectures.
