I was perusing the Sharper Image catalog this morning and saw a 
digital recorder that uses 32mb of "flash" memory, for 2 hours of 
high quality digital recording. If it is removable memory, that would 
solve part of your problem, then possibly edit it in Quicktime Pro or 
some such. I have no knowledge of apps that will turn digital sound 
into text, except for ViaVoice, which is actually the best rated app 
on the market.

Problems with ViaVoice occur when background noise is not constant 
and/or if the app is improperly "trained".  I have heard that results 
are excellent with proper training and background noise is constant 
(as in NONE).  If you have trouble with background noise (people 
talking loud as they walk by your office, for example), then spending 
the money on a high-quality directional mic may be a solution.
