So not a tape recorder? ;-)

nope.

AS I said a bit of googlng resulted in a 'spy drive'
USB stick with a battery and a microphone.

Cant wait to try it out..

Snag with a lot of these sort of things is you still need the mic in a
half decent place for a good recording. Regardless of how it records.

That of course is what 'trying it out' will consist of.

User feedback suggests it produces intelligible results from simply
lying on a table at a meeting, or even in a top pocket.

Although tending to go mushy and noisy over 4 feet distance in a crowded
room. Probably has some crude AGC in it.

Hi-fi it aint, but that's not the requirement.
