2.0 out of 5 stars Great idea, poor execution, March 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: LandWare GoVox Digital Voice Recorder for Palm III (Office Product)

I loved the idea of this thing, since sometimes I don't record notes in my Palm if the circumstances prevent me from opening it, turning it on, switching apps and writing them down. Unfortunately, they didn't quite get it right; I was prepared for it to be a bit thicker than the OEM cover, but the molding was badly designed so it was hard to open and close, and didn't even close fully. That might have been dealable, but the buttons are raised, and on the outside, which is convenient for using it but means any pressure on the front, even through the heavy neoprene case I bought, randomly presses the buttons and messes up your stored messages. I lost a few before I figured out what was going on. So, two stars for the idea, but I'd really, really like to see a version with the buttons on the *inside*, lockable, or somehow protected, and a better-molded case.

I agree completely with the previous reviewer. I love the ideaof voice recording quick memos and ideas instead of writing them down,and I think this function is sorely lacking on the Palm III. This attachment adds surprisingly little bulk to my Palm III. BUT, the exposed buttons are activated when it's inside my briefcase pocket (there is no off switch to prevent accidental operation), the fit is too tight and it does not completely close. I also think the speaker volume is a bit too loud and there is no volume control. As much as I'd like to have voice recorder capability, this product just isn't there yet. I'm hopeful Landware (or someone) can improve on this great idea.

This product is an excellent concept. Now make it work! The ability to quickly record a message is great, but the molding is shoddy, and it doesnt close fully. The buttons are also rased, and some of my messages were deleted accidentally in my pocket as a result. So, do yourself a favor, and wait till they come out with somthing better b4 you buy it!
