If you want loads of memory try:
http://www.archos.com/products/prw_500279.html ... it will record MP3
straight to it's hard drive (accessible through USB->computer)... Or
the IPod also does the same I think.
Accessibility would probably be a bit rubbish for your client though...
the buttons are a standard keyboard type feel.
You might just want to find a super small laptop or palm top with
software to do the same?
Cheers.
