Olypmus LS-20M Coming To Australia Any Day Now

One device we have had our eye on for some months now is the Olympus LS-20M which has been hugely popular over in the US. Why are we getting excited about this unit? Well it marks the start of a cross over between Olympus Imaging and their impressive camera knowledge and Olympus Voice with their just as impressive voice recording skills.

Squish the two together and you come up with the LS-20M, HD 1080p video mixed with PCM audio and you are onto a winner.
Olympus Imaging quietly snuck this into the latest Australian Olympus reseller price list released this morning (18th August 2011) maybe thinking nobody would notice. Perfect timing too with Father Day coming, Christmas on the horizon and on a personal note my birthday next week !
The Olympus LS-20M has an RRP of $449 incl. GST in Australia.

Dropbox - The Easy Free Way To Transfer Large Audio Files

Audio files, especially from the non professional high quality digital notetakers, are very large in size, too large to email. This is not a bad thing, the audio they are recording is after all very high quality, especially if you are using a PCM recorder generating uncompressed WAV files. So how do you easily get these audio files to colleagues or to an outsourced transcription service? The answer, Dropbox.

Dropbox has been around for a couple of years and has redefined the way we share and backup files. Dropbox uses a mix of both local storage (a directory or folder on your Mac or PC) and cloud storage, syncing whatever you drop in your Dropbox folder with the cloud.

Certain folders or even files can be shared with others making it an ideal tool for sharing your large audio files with select people. head over to our main blog to read more ... oh yeah, Dropbox is FREE for 2Gb of cloud storage.
