 Perfect and cheap July 20, 2008
J. Fernandes
As soon as I got this I started playing with it. To my amazement this was one of the easiest to work with devices I ever had. Who needs a manual :)
I like the voice activation feature, it's really nice.
Get one now if you haven't got one already, for this price you can't get any better. It's an absolute bargain.
 Good recorder, but a bit flakey July 14, 2008

Apart from the exceptional storage capacity, I was driven to buy this item by its small size. The software will only work with Windows and is awkward. If you are going to use this for covert recordings, you need to insulate it from body heat otherwise it will constantly crash. Sadly, this appears to be the case even if you wear it all day in your shirt pocket too. The power button seems more suggestive, so the only way to actually power-off the device is to remove the batteries, forcing you to reset the clock.
The battery life seems impressive at first, but you will find that you cannot trust the battery level indicator. However, if you're looking for a cheap device to tape under a table, then this could prove useful. I've had one of these devices in-place for two days before removing it, and achieved clear recordings of all voices in the room of 7m X 7m without any gaps (while the VCVA kicks in). A useful feature would have been to timestamp the start/stop of the VCVA recordings as cue-points in the resultant audio file.
In summary, the recording ability is excellent, but this is let down by the instability of the supporting features.

This is not compatible with Explorer or Windows Media. It has to be used on machines that have downloaded the Digital Wave Software (disc included) therefore it would be extremely cumbersome to use this on any but your own personal PC as that would require downloading software wherever you go. I doubt whether the saved files could be e-mailed.
Apart from that, the quality of playback is extremely poor. It is very hard to hear what is being said on the recorder.
It is very light and plasticky in feel. Not recommended.

I have just received this item and within 10 minutes I had it up and running including the programme. Hardly had to look at the manual it was so easy and I am no computer whiz.
I thoroughly recommend this product. It pics up voice extremely well and plays back as clear as a bell on the device as well as the PC. Does exactly what I want it to without being too high tech with unnecessary features. The set up feature from disc is neat and simple. If you just want to record voice, then this is the one!

Have to agree with Caz, this device does exactly what it says on the tin. I was told to buy a voice recorder (for training purposes at work); I must admit that I was unaware that tape-less devices existed (luddite that I am) but this has proved to be a whole lot better than I had expected. It's so simple and so efficient. I didn't even need to use the instruction manual - but then, I'm a bloke. Wearing a suit it's easy to slip it into my breast pocket where it's just about unseen yet it can record the conversations that take place in reasonable quality - could be used to blackmail someone I should imagine but I haven't gotten around to that yet. And setting up the software on my PC was simplicity itself, enabling me to transfer the recorded meetings and then delete them completely from the hand-held device. Excellent value for money because the only thing you'll need in the future will be another pair of batteries (the first ones are included, by the way) and I get the feeling that with almost no moving parts battery life will be good. Feels like it will last forever.
