Another One Bites The Dust - Adios WS-100

Yep another change in the Olympus digital voice recorder ranks filtered through to us this month, again from one of our customers and not Olympus themselves :-)

The faithful friend of the student the WS-100 has been discontinued in Australia and replaced by the very nice WS-110.



As of 11th October 2007 we are still waiting for confirmation of the price for the new model but looking at the overseas Olympus sites it looks like it will come in at around the same price as the WS-100 was.

So whats new with this model. Well apart from double the memory of the WS-100, the WS-110 has 256Mb, it also sports some of the features we have seen in other new Olympus models, namely the WS-331M and the DS30/40/50 and that is the low cut background noise filtering, very handy if you are out and about recording.

This model is expected in Australia towards the end of October 2007 and I am sure it will fit in very nicely where the WS-100 left off. So far I have found only one review of the WS-110 on amazon.com - a great source for honest reviews - and this is what it said:

"This little device is spectacular. Small and light, can fit in a pocket. Has enough memory for a lot of recording. Easy to use. Downloading is quick and fun. Good quality audio. Great idea to go with WMA instead of proprietary audio software that complicates things.I am glad I have this gadget."
