The Olympus WS-200S is the digital voice recorder that I got as a christmas present.

There are 2 things that I plan to use this device for. First I will use it as a remote microphone for recording interviews when ever required for my video recording hobby.

The other use is of course for recoding audio podcasts on the move.

The olympus ws-200s has 128mb of storage space, and depending on the recording mode selected, you get up to 40 hrs of recording time.

I have already used the olympus twice, the first time to record my Christmas greeting, the second was used to record the audio I used on my New Year Video post.

I am using an external microphone with mine, this allows me to keep the device in my pocket, as well as keep my hands free while still giving me good audio both of me and anyone close to me that I might be having a conversation with, as demonstrated in my New Year Video post.

Olympus also make another model the Olympus WS-300S, this has 256MB of storage, can act as an MP3 player, which the Olympus WS-200S can not. Both devices however record to a windows media audio format (.wma), and will need to be converted to be used in a non windows media player.
