    I think it all depends on what you're willing to spend?

    You can pick up a decent Olympus (amazon link to WS 853 model) This works out to around 63e (without delivery costs).

    Sorry for the double post, but it won't let me edit my reply.

    If you wanted to purchase a decent power bank you could always use the likes of Audio Notetaker on your phone / laptop.

    Thanks.
    I picked up a Sony one. ICD-px240 in town for about 60 quid.
    Nice little thing.

    If you're transcribing notes I recommend this site:

    http://otranscribe.com/

    It gives you a plain text field and keyboard shortcuts to quickly insert a timestamp, speed up, slow down, fast forward and rewind the recording. Keeps the emphasis on typing and not moving away to click the mouse to play / pause every few minutes!)
