I River 900 series.

[Grant]

Is anyone using the 900 series for podcasting?

P.S. Thanks to tinkoff and DVD talk radio for your help with my last question.

I think the 899 or 799 are kinda the standards. You can get an 850 or something with less memory and be just fine. The 900 looks sweet, but it doesn't have anymore real features besides the color screen. Another drawback is the battery. There are whisperings of not so great battery life. With the 800 or 700 series you can of course use AA batteries and be set for life.

Here is the best place I have found to research irivers- or you can just ask Craig.

Best of luck- I REALLY wanted a iriver999, but once I heard about the battery I decided to get the 899, the 799 is good, but the input jacks are kinda goofy. And the 899 has the jacks on the side where its nice and flush.
Here is a pic of our 799 setup: http://kickasspodcast.com/799setup.jpg

Hope any of this helps.
