I guess I might use such a thing provided:

 - it could be turned on and off with minimum fuss.

 - there was some means of transferring the files to a computer for storage
and review.   Ideally I'd like to have the option of transferring it by
phone immediately.

 - there was a resume feature for continuing interrupted recordings or for
adding my own audio notes.

Maybe it'd be nice to be able to grab quick pictures with a pxt enabled
phone to supplement the sound recordings ....

Send me a prototype - I'll test it for you.
