I would recommend Sony's MZ-S1. The S1 is a NetMD unit, so you can record your MP3's at mutiple speed via OMG/Simple Burner.

This pretty much fits what your looking for:

"Features: First "Sports" Minidisc portable. Second (after the MZ-1) Sony MD recorder to incorporate backlit LCD on main unit (amber backlight). No remote; "one-thumb" joystick control on top of unit. "Buckle"-design case latch for improved ruggedness. Bright reflective surface (presumably to reduce solar heating and make finding a dropped one easier). Sony states "Splash Proof Water-Resistant(1) Design with high-impact plastic housing is designed for outdoor fun, with rubber gaskets, bushings, and waterproof seals that help keep out water, moisture, and dirt" but clarifies "Not meant to be immersed in or come into continuous contact with water"."

Keep in mind, that this MD unit is more on the large side, the mini. Well not too large its about the size of a tape player. Almost like the yellow sport cassette walkmans Sony introduced in the 90's.

Also, there is no remote jack, so...well, no remote. A mic input is not available.

yep S1 it is.. but the S1 doesnt have a Microphone Input.. or a Remote Jack either.. so you wont be able to record from a microphone or plug in a remote..

but because the unit looks cool.. why hide it in ur pocket or bag??
