New professional palm-size recorder from M-Audio

My March edition of Electronic Musician arrived this week, and as I was browsing it I found an ad for an exciting new piece of palm-sized technology. The M-Audio MicroTrack 24/96, looks like a very interesting portable digital recorder with some great features. It's a bit pricey at $499 (list), but for a portable digital recorder, this should give you a professional sounding recording and the ability to easily transfer your recordings to the computer. I love M-Audio technology, and currently own an M-Audio Delta 44 soundcard. Here are a couple of reviews for the Microtrack 24/96:
