chiqtech.com spies out this cool personal digital voice recorder from Sony: The ICD-UX70.

If you’re a girl (like me) who enjoys listening to and making fun with your own voice, whose memory reserves are low and who just couldn’t pay attention and write notes during meetings and lectures at the same time, and having fantasies of being Lois Lane, Miss James Bond or Agent 99 then this gadget is for you!

Who says you can’t record in style? Sony’s new designer digital voice recorder, ICD-UX70, features convenient direct USB connection and can give you up to hours and hours (approximately about 10 days) of crystal clear recording from its built-in memory

Its built-in 1GB Flash memory lets you record up to 290 hours of lectures, meetings, and personal notes. The Sony ICD-UX70 compact and cute digital voice recorder uses a high capacity IC chip, which may be recorded over and used again and again with distortion free clarity.

The Sony ICD-UX70 features Voice Operated Recording (VOR) capability. It recognizes silent pauses and stops recording to save valuable recording time and for energy efficiency. Recording resumes, without missing a single sound or syllable because of the digital buffer.

The Sony ICD-UX70 allows recordings to be heard at slower than normal speeds without distortion to facilitate transcribing and editing, or at faster than normal speeds to move quickly to the recorded portion you want to hear.

With its selectable microphone sensitivity, you can record different situations, from group meetings to individuals, more effectively.

The Sony ICD-UX70 allows you to plug your voice recorder directly into a USB port on a computer or hub, no need to use cables! Plug Sony’s ICD-UX70 directly into your PC and enjoy easy, drag and drop file transfers.
