Digital Dictaphones have been around for a while.  I even saw one advertised
as a "as seen on TV" product, that was a bit odd.  I'm not sure why the
masses need Dictaphones.  (Huh, Outlook capitalises Dictaphone, must be a
brand name)

Many MP3 players record audio as well, but they may not be quite what you
want.  You can't record for a couple of minutes, rewind 30 seconds and start
recording again.

Googling ''voice recorder" with portable, personal or digital might turn up
something.
