*Slams head into keyboard in frustration* It's like talking to a lead ladened brick wall.

They even note that the recorder is available!!! For the love of god use those skills you were given in grade school and READ!! They are talking about line in high quality recording. The iPod CAN NOT DO THIS. They can get mono voice recordings through a $50 accessory and if this story:

pans out they will be able to do high quality pass through recordings through the Griffin Tech iTalk. (Again more $$ to get this feature vs built in.) Please note the date of this rumor 11/ 22 vs. the C|Net article of 11/5. I'm guessing that C|Net is now expected to be clairvoyant when it comes to articles they write.
Why? Have you used Music Match? If you have I'll give you a bit of creditability if not.... I've purchased 2 songs on MM downloading is as easy to accomplish as iTMS. In fact it has some rather cool features iTMS does not. Example. If you let it MM can scan your collection of songs and suggest music that you otherwise might have not considered. I've used this method to find several good songs that I went back over to iTMS and purchased. Say what you will of the iTMS competition there are some good ideas out there that didnt come from Apple.

I think the CNet ratings are biased on the surface. Dell notebooks are always rated much higher than their reviews make them seem. However, if you take the time to read the review and get past the inflated Dell ratings, you'll see that its a very good, objective resource.
