Anyone know where in town I can pick up a cheap doohickey that records phone conversations?

I'm not working for Murdoch or anything, I just have to carry out a phone interview with someone and would feel safer recording the whole thing as I have a shoddy memory and don't know shorthand. I was going to borrow my dad's but he can't find it. Thought there might be an app available, but they all seem to only be available in the US. There is something called ipadio that looks promising, but I don't really know anything about it so am sceptical.

It's for tomorrow, otherwise I would have bought one online.

Alternatively, can anybody on here teach me shorthand in the next 19 hours?

Would it be possible to use loudspeaker on the phone?

Yeah, it's looking like it might have to be loudspeaker and then recording it straight onto my laptop through its crappy inbuilt mic. Only trouble is I don't have time to get home between my class finishing and the time I've got to phone the guy, so I'm probably gonna have to do it in a really noisy and annoying environment.

If you've got one of them there fancy smart phones, I believe you can record the call by going into something like "call options" while the call is active. I have to work from memory as I lost my phone at the weekend, but try phoning someone and buggering around a bit. I managed to do it once when a mate drunk dialled me at 4am to embarass him with later, so I imagine the functionality is there with most relatively modern phones...?

Had a wee try at this, but my stupid spacephone didn't deliver the goods. Thanks anyway!

Think I'm just gonna have to make some excuse to cut out of class early, then run home and put the phone on speaker and record the call onto my laptop.
