OK - not firewire, but USB2. Thinks like the Hercules DJ Console (which I use) are excellent for producing podcasts. 2. Sony - imagine what Sony COULD have done in this market if they had any brains. The Hi-MD format would have been great for podcasters. Better sound recordings than anything the iPod can ever produce, portable and cheap 1GB disks. It could have been a great device for doing the voiceovers, interviews and live/field recordings. If Sony openened up the format, cut the price and didn't bog the device down with DRM it could have been a contender. Not that Sony is capable of such things at the moment. 1. the “breakout boxes” you refer to already exist.
