Hi Cearbhall, They're both pocket units. check out related poddcasts at: www.blindcooltech.com www.acbradio.org/mainmenu.html and search for Iaudio x5 and Olympus DS50, or ds-50. Also, you’ll find info on www.hartgen.org and look for the portable player portal. Hope this helps.

Are these desktop units? I forgot to mention that I am particularly looking for a pocket recorder that I can take to sessions and record live material for later study.

I think you'll find reviews of both, on Blind Cool Tech and Main Menu.
