A Nokia N800 should be able to do this, as should just about any other 
small portable hardware that's hackable. I have my N810 hacked to have a 
"sleep timer" such that it shuts down 30 minutes after the last UI 
interaction. An N800 can be found for about $150. An N770 would probably 
work too, and I'd guess can be found for under $100. 

I've heard iPods can be hacked to run Linux. If they have a microphone, 
you can probably get an old one for cheap. A Nintendo DS Lite is another 
possible platform. It has a mic, been hacked to run Linux, and can be 
found used for about $80.

Given what you want doesn't sound that unusual, that's where I'd start. 
You may find that recorders that support such a features ends up costing 
more than the other options, but will avoid the hack effort.
