Trevor Bayliss' Eco Player is One for Worthies

Trevor Baylis, the Brit who invented the wind-up radio 16 years ago, has applied his not inconsiderable brain to doing the same thing for MP3s and videos and come up with a 2GB Eco Player that will give you 40 minutes of music on just one minute of winding. And that's not all it can do. More »

USB Pen, MP3 Player, FM Radio, Voice Recorder

This thing may actually be pretty useful. See, you use the voice recorder to record your CFO and CTO in the bathroom talking about embezzling funds—you were hiding in a stall, using the FM radio to pass the time. Then you use the 512MB flash memory to steal office documents about the whole thing. Later, you confront and blackmail them with the MP3 playback of the recording. And finally, you have them sign a check for one million dollars with the built-in pen. All this on a gadget you bought for $48. – Jason Chen More »

Olympus Voice Trek G-10

Olympus announced its Voice Trek G-10, a voice recorder whose corner slips off to reveal a USB jack which you plug directly into your PC to transfer your recordings. Its built-in 256MB of memory seems rather paltry until you realize that you can shoehorn 69 hours of low-quality audio recording into its mini form factor of less than four inches high and sub-two-ounce weight. It records to the Windows media audio (WMA) format, and can play back WMA and MP3 files. More »

Latest by Digitele: These are a heavily under-rated class of device. I use one in my car for making notes of decent ideas that I have. It looks like it has the standard clean buttons for operation of a tape-based recorder. Allowing you to more »

IBM Magic Book Audio Recorder

IBM is taking audio recording to the next level with this unique voice recorder. The Magic Book records the audio digitally, but the best part is the search functionality. There are a variety of searching options including time range, keywords or even a person's voice. All of this is done thanks to advanced voice-recognition technology. To top everything off, this voice recorder comes with a little biometric goodness in the form of a fingerprint reader. Great features and all, but what is the sound quality like? More »

Latest by navstar: Neat idea. But the design is nothing less than terrible. How long are those elastic bands going to last? And a user can rewind, play, fast forward, and "M"? Tiny non-buttons are going to be worse than the more »

Olympus Voice-Trek MP3/Voice Recorder

Perfect for journo folk like me, the new Olympus Voice-Trek voice recorders not only let you get your interviews (and other interesting tidbits) but also include a MP3/WMA player. The V-40 is 512MB and the V-50 is 1GB. Both playback MP3 and WMA files as well as SRS and Wow. They also include four built-in preset equalizers, and repeat and random playback functions. Uses a AAA battery, with playback time about 7 hours. Weighs in at 2 ounces. More »

Latest by Tom: I have the WS-300m which seems to be the same unit with 256mb and not called 'Voice Trek'. (What would a voice trek be, exactly?) Works very well, does exactly what it's supposed to, records clearly, and the music folders more »
