Talk about bang for buck, this really should fill the gap price wise for those that need better quality audio but cannot afford an H2. Pricing looks to be right at a hundred dollars (preorders on ebay). The H1 will be here July 30th. Here is the product/spec page:

and a high-rez image

Zoom H1 High-Res Front

This looks exciting as almost all main menu functions have their own dedicated physical switch, so no digging through buried menu options. I wonder what battery life will be. If this has the same mic. capsules as the H4n (like the H2 has the same mic. capsules as the original h4) this will be a budget powerhouse.
