Hi
I also listened to the review of the DS 50 last night. I thought Michael
did an excellent job of describing the functions. I just thought it was a
shame that it is not completely accessible. It seems that any functions that
require you to enter times or dates are not spoken. This may or may not be a
problem depending on what you are going to use the machine for. But I don't
think it would have taken much effort for Olympus to make all the menu
functions accessible.
From what I've heard the only difference between the DS 40 and DS 50 is the
amount of memory. The former having 512MB & the latter having 1GB. If I
were to buy one I think I would go for the DS 40 as the amount of recording
time is still very impressive. It will be interesting to see if the price
comes down in the next few months.
Darren.

I'd like to thank Daran for pointing us to Mike Lang's review of the Olypus
DS50 which I've
just listened to. Michael Lang is a good example of what descriptive
reviews aught to be,
even if his opening and slamming the window shut to test the auto-record
mechanism gets a
bit trying. Suppose from a purists standpoint auto only is a minus point,
but then the
DS50, ,despite this, is a definite step forward in the direction of
accessability in a
mainstream product.
Wonder if anyone has bought one here yet? Lowest price I've seen on the net
is around
£230.00. Nice too to hear of anyone using it as an MP3 player.

Terry, here's a link from a chap called Michael Lang, who's put together a
little piece on the recorder. I'll just paste his message below.
Darran
I created a little review of this new talking recorder from Olympus. I also
uploaded some demo recordings, which I made on this new machine. You can
listen to all of that at
www.longus.info.
If you don't want to download the files, but your browser wants you to, just
copy the addresses into the clipboard and paste them into the open box of a
player like Winamp, Winamp can then stream the MP3 and the WMA files.
