If you’re a podcaster, or at least a podcaster wanna-be, you need a handy pocket voice recorder like the Olympus DS-50. Of course, most MP3 players nowadays, including iPod, already have that kind of feature, however, most of all are don’t have a good recording quality. But that’s not all. What make the DS-50 a must have is that it has a voice-activated super-sensitive sensor which can naturally eliminate background noises. The microphone is detachable as well. All of the voice will be recorded directly onto its built-in 1GB hard drive which is enough for hours of interview. Finally, with the provided USB connectivity, you can simply plug the recorder onto your computer’s USB port and transfer the recording there.

Also comes with built-in music player (MP3 and WMA), Olympus DS-50 Handheld Recorder is powered by an AAA battery which provides up to 275 hours of recording time. The price is rather high though, $485 each.
