Reaching these sizes will never be possible continuing with MiniDisc as it is now. I think the designs are great. No motor noise, time to spin up, etc. Just record and go.

AAA batttery rules. The storage seems to be non-removable, which I would never buy into. Far better would be letting us decide how much we want to put in via stick. Flash media does not last forever, so having it removable would avoid potential death here.

The displays there don't seem to be dot-matrix-type, so I don't think there will be any tagging capabilities a la MiniDisc, but those are exciting designs and these voice recorders are closer to how I see future high-quality portable recorders (with or without the mic). Something tells me it won't come close to the sound quality of MiniDisc (market segmentation, needs, etc), but we'll see.

Here are some more images. I don't know how these models compare to previous Sony voice recorders.

On these there is an A-B playback button and a Divide & Bookmark button, with a "PLUG IN POWER" microphone jack. It also has five recording levels (low, high, higher, music mode, manually), and records in mono and stereo from built in mics. I got this because I ran ran Google Translate of a Chinese site:
