12) *Fast* display, good for peakmeters. (the H1x0 display is too slow)

I am very interested in knowing what people that records are interested! Can you please detail more what are typical things that people look for? - for example, I don't understand why the digital input... can you please explain :-)
And peakmeters, for live recording?

Davide-NYC:
Digital input is so that you can choose what Microphone Pre-Amp and what Analog to Digital converter you want to use.

Here are two popular examples of external combination mic-pre and A/D converters:

Display speed is probably not important anymore with today's technology. My complaint is specific to the H1x0 screen. It is so slow that it can be described a "blurry" when viewing any movement.

pondelife, can you please say why do you want a replaceable battery? - I want to be able to have more than one charged at my pocket and be able to swap them. Is the same to you?

No, that's not what  I meant.  I merely meant that the battery should be easily replaceable when it reaches end-of-life.  I know that it's possible to replace the battery with pretty much all current targets, but it's not simple and safe for a complete novice.

Use of rechargable AA cells (as in the Archos models) is nice, but the compactness of Li-ion batteries is nicer.

Sounds like Llorean's phone uses the system I'd prefer.

Bagder:
In fact, even the sansa e200 series has "easy replaceable" Li-Ion batteries, in that it has the battery in a separate "compartment" that is just a few screws away.

crazybus:
While a radio in a player isn't essential to me if this player had one I would like it to be reasonably powerful.  e.g. able to not just pick up the strongest signals.  This is because the sansa e200 isn't able to pick up any stations where I live and the c100 can only pick up a quality signal when held above the head.  Also can audio players only pickup FM signals.  AM tends to be able to pick up a signal when the transmitter is further away or even shortwave (not sure if that's still used.)
