Definitely apples and oranges. The DS50 is a fantastic memo recorder that
can also play music and read audible, but it definitely is no BookPort. I
have a DS50 and use it daily for taking notes. It is terrific for what it
was designed for, but when I want to read, I grab my BookPort.

Comparing the Bookport to a digital voice recorder is like comparing a Bunn
coffee maker to an old fashioned percolator.
First, I've seen the Olympus GS50, it will not play Daisy books. It
will not announce file names as I browse my folders. It will not
take notes. I have a four gig card with my Bookport which means I have
quite a number of what once were referred to as albums on my card as well as
a fairly large collection of books. My primary purpose for having a
Bookport was never to record memos, and if it were I'd probably opt for the
Olympus recorder.

Does it do text-to-speech? Does it allow you to take braille nots? Does it
promise regular and amazing updates? Does it come witht he world's best tech
support? I rest my case.
