[Imc-newsroom] interesting device

[Peter Miller]

I was talking to a reporter about this just yesterday.  He described it as 
a "Star Trek communicator" (which is what it does, in fact, look like).  I 
think the best thing for us would be some kind of recorder that goes 
straight to flash memory, but they're currently around $1500 (I 
believe).  Definitely something to watch, though.
