What is your favorite audio sound recorder?
Assuming you are referring to a physical device that is portable and more than merely mono I need one to capture a full ambisonic high quality sonic image and that does not mean Dolby 5.1 surround sound.
On that score I am still looking, Nellie. Until then I use a $400 laptop The Asus Eee running Gutsy Gibon Kubuntu 7.04 Linix OS plus a number of other audio software to numerous to mention.
There is one ideal solution and that is one fabulous free open source solution to creating stereo podcasts as MP3s and OGG formats and much much more. Audacity is its name and that has worked well for me for several years!
Do try Audacity one day soon as it is hard to beat despite a slight learning curve. I have a few years experience on various aspects and one might say the plugins are critical
Do get it by downloading for your OS as it is available from Sourceforge right here:

Thank you for sharing, David. Here is the URL again: http://audacity.sourceforge.net
I downloaded Audacity (free) and use it for recording. To record to Audacity I use the Microsoft LifeChat 6000 bluetooth mic/earpiece ($49). It allows me to walk up to 30 feet away from my laptop and still record. I don’t like to be on a short leash when I teach. From Audacity I can edit the audio files and then convert to mp3 format. I don’t yet have anywhere to deposit my audio podcasts, so I bought a UBS hub ($14) which allows me to connect 4 thumbdrives at a time. My students just hand me their thumb drives and I copy the files over. I am hoping we get iTunes University soon.
