The ds30/40/50's are voice recorders, not PDA's, so you would be able to store voice recordings of phone numbers and other souch info in it, however, if you stored any other type of file (e.g. text files) it would store them but not read them. For just making short notes like storing phone

I understand that the DS 50 recorder has more features and is easy to operate. Has anybody looked at the DS50 and compared it with, let's say, the DS40? I own a DS30 recorder and it is not what I want so when I visit the USA next week I will check out all the models. Francis Khan -

The only differences with the ds30, the ds 40 and the ds 50 are the amount of data you can store on it, and the amount of recording time. the ds50 is the best as it has 1gb of memmory, for more detailed info check out a podcast on the ds50 on www.blindcooltech.com James Scholes ==
