I've met the pocket. It's tiny, like a mobile phone. I think you must be confusing it with another product in the range. Amie

Though it isn't semi-pro in its recording capabilities. I am interested, though, Have you personally used and compared both machines? I agree that the audio quality on the Pocket, if you add external mics may be superior, but it is much much larger than the Olympus and its in-built mike capabilities I think are inferior to the Olympus. As an all-rounder player and recorder, the Pocket has much to offer, but it is less convenient for quick recording tasks. the Olympus comes in to its own as a 'take-anywhere' real pocket-sized recorder, with excellent balance of features and quality for high-quality voice capture.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy one at all. I think in the long run, you would be better served by it as opposed to the Olympus dm-520. the Olympus is still a voice recorder after all. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sunshine" <sunsh...@abe.midco.net> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Sunday, December 20, 2009 2:27 PM Subject: Re: digital recorders > in what way do you have the mantiance issues, the plextalk pocket has > had > no issues that would not make it a viable recorder/ player, if you are > talking about firmware take a lookagain. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Dave McElroy WA6BEF" <d...@drakelroy.com> > To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> > Sent: Sunday, December 20, 2009 1:13 PM > Subject: RE: digital recorders > > > Well clearly these are for different markets.
