That'd be great, thanks Martin! When would be a good time to call? I have to leave in about 10 minutes - would some time tomorrow suit?

I think cameras would be easier to use (more wieldy), but I'm struggling to find handy, easy to use, inexpensive ones that include an external mic jack, which I'm informed is essential for good sound quality. Since Kodak don't produce cameras any more, it seems difficult to find anything suitable. And I've heard lots of good things about iPhone/iPad capabilities in this area. Just hoping there's something cheaper out there that does the job as effectively! The nice thing about a tablet would be its versatility; on the other hand, I'd like to be able to lend these out to groups and schools for museumy projects eventually, and I'd like to get them back ...
