So. I am trying to track down an easy (I am the "techy-est" here,
kidna sad), cheap recording solution which I thought would be something
like a Mic and mp3 player/recorder (like some of iRiver's).

That's probably a good approach.

The settings are usually such that putting a mic
right by the speaker isn't an option (I've tried, its always something,
either they don't want it by them, they walk around when they talk,
etc) so any suggestions of Mics that can pick up voice from a slight
distance (say i am sitting in the front row)

Is there a sound system? If so, then you'll want to record an ouptut
from the sound system rather than try to follow the lecturer around.
I'd recommend coming equipped with a box full of adapters and cables
so you can hook up to anything you find at the venue, but a modestly
priced omnidirectional tie tack mic taped to one of the loudspeakers
will do for your purposes - easy and unobtrusive, but not very
practical if the venue is something like a hotel meeting room with
built-in speakers overhead.

So, your answer is still "it depends."
