iPod voice recording... sort of.
Belkin has announced a digital voice recorder accessory for the iPod, which almost turns the little white box into a great alternative for classroom research. Unfortunately, the DVR unit uses a built-in mic optimized for close-up interviews, and doesn't support other kinds of mikes. So you could still use the iPod for interviews, but not for capturing class discussion or small group interaction. (As an alternative, Macintouch points to the Archos Jukebox as a MP3 player with generalized stereo mic input.)
