Electrofuel also offers the PowerPad 160, offering up to 16 hours of power. So if you find yourself on extended flights or out of reach of an outlet and are willing to add even more pounds to your carry on, you might want to plug into the PowerPad. Recently the company released two new additions to its VN series of digital voice recorders, the VN90 and VN180. It s curious, however, why anyone would want the VN90. Both models offer many of the features we look for in a first-class digital voice recorder, such as microphone sensitivity settings, organizing folders, and dual recording modes.
Microphone sensitivity is handy for clearly recording whispers or shouts.
Of course, the microphone can also be voice activated. The Olympus models feature three handy folders and the capability to move messages between them. Each folder can hold 180 messages. Dual recording modes allow you to record sound at two quality levels. The better the quality, of course, the less you can record.
