Then you could eat your words if you said something inappropriate, like //fanny-pack// - silly American. :) |

This is a great idea. IPODs have microphones that make
recording 5 hours of stuff on the sly pretty easy, but the
interface is sucky, and you cant browse what you
recorded easily, and you cant rewind and listen while you
keep recording. The first people who make usable, and I
emphasize "usable", short-term memory like this will be
millionaires. |

Speaking of usable computers, I just discovered an IPOD-
like player for public libraries that is simple as all get out,
has 7 old-style clicky push buttons including the on-
button, has a battery life of 24 hours, and you can throw
it literally across the room without breaking it (linky). It
is the as-of-yet simplest technology experience I have
ever had. If anyone makes a usable human-short-term-
memory-substitute recorder based on the design of this
Audio Read thingy they will make a million dollars, mark
my words. |

Could be used to catch very stupid criminals. Just follow them around picking up the evidence as you go. |

I've got one of those USB-memory stick with a mic (and Mp3 player) - Only around 25UKP or so, records for ages (not mp3, but not bad.) |

Would be interesting to put this one on Chewie from Starwars. |

Uagheaaaa Iagrraaaa !!!! ... or something |
|
|
rather than a fanny pack with paper, a more practical setup would be to have a device such as cell phone do the recording and sending it over to your database for storage as text ... |
|
|
integration ... no need to carry around whole bunch of stuff. |

Idea is fully baked. If you watch Chapelles show, he came up with the idea of having a midget ride on your back to take down all of your conversations. |
