Roland has also a new, updated version (R-09) of Edirol, but I don't know about its availability right now - a month ago Thomann (eg.) had none in store.

M-Audio's MicroTrack 24/96 is of about the same size. It has no built-in mics, but its microphone connectors provide phantom power.

Now, after getting my hands on a "flash recorder" (Edirol R-1), I do not think of going back to minidisc any more...
