Summary: Very convenient
Comment: I am a reporter and I find that this is a very convenient device, without too many functions or menus. I'm using it on a daily basis.

Summary: Cranky Little Device
Comment: When this product works, it's great: convenient, portable, runs on one battery, and the audio quality is quite good. However, I'm no techno-idiot but this device makes me feel like one. It indicates that it is on and recording and then I go home to find that, in fact, it has NOT been recording. I also have a very hard time deleting files. Sometimes it's a snap and sometimes I need to fiddle with it for long, frustrating minutes to get it to do what I want it to. Maybe it's just me, but I'm a fan of Olympus and have never had any trouble understanding their interfaces before. I'd like to crush this under my heel sometimes, but it has made some good recordings of meetings, rehearsals and public speaking engagements for me.

Summary: Just what I needed
Comment: As a grandparent, I wanted something small and unintrusive I could place on a table to record spontaneous conversations of my grandchildren. This item picks up voices effectively from 10-15 feet away. It has been working perfectly. I make CDs of the recordings to give to the parents.

Summary: Easy way to record
Comment: I love it! Easy way to use, small and practical. When I am done I can put all records in my folder's laptop.

Summary: A bit overrated
Comment: Pros: Small and light; created wma files that I can use on both my Mac and Windows machines; comes with USB cable; can use it as a flash drive.

Cons: Mine just went completely dead only 23 days after 1 year warranty expired, and not particularly heavy use; low battery warning on LCD not much use, as it has a tendency to go from half charge to nothing without warning in the middle of a one hour meeting - you need to keep your eye on it, and a spare battery in your pocket; picks up too much background noise and doesn't do a good job of picking up soft-spoken individuals in a meeting room.
