Actually, it isn't expensive at all.

You can get a 240 minute Olympus digital voice recorder for under $50 at 
Overstock.com (I just got one myself).

And it isn't necessary to purchase the foot pedal kit that I mentioned if 
you use the very reasonably priced transcription service that I 
mentioned, because they have everything necessary to accept your 
dictation file as it comes from your digital recorder.  You just FTP it 
to them.
