So you're recording line levels, with the line in jack?

I haven't done much testing about recording. The quality of the internal mic
should be similar to the disk models, with the benefit of no spinning HD, of
course.

If you're good with soldering, you can upgrade the backlight, see:

A primitive built-in charging is easy: a diode and ~15 Ohm resistor from the
USB power to the positive battery side.
