Advantages: Record upto 36 hours, digital sound quality, compact device with mic Disadvantages: Microphone not as effective as I thought
The OlympusVN-3100 is known as a Dictation Machine, but I like to simply call it a portable voice recorder. In size it is not very big, thus being portable. It measures in at a length of 10 cm, a width of 3.5 cm and an overall depth of 1.7 cm. The top end of the the device has a depth of 1.3 cm and the bottom end which contains the batteries has a depth of 1.7 cm.
The device is made in China, like many things are nowadays. The OlympusVN-3100 does not have a simple on/off button, but instead has a HOLD button on the top left hand side.

Advantages: Practical and Efficient Disadvantages: Slightly tedious uploading
I am currently studying in my first year at university, but have experienced some problems with attending lectures and figured it would be a sensible idea to ensure that i have a record of the lectures i have missed. Unfortunitly my university has not started to release podcasts of lectures yet so that was not an option.

Of course i have not actually had much practical use personally, I just have an account of the quality of the recording.
The only drawback i have experienced is that the uploading and software required when uploading the files onto my computer was a bit time consuming, but not to an extent where it put me off purchasing the product.
Firstly the account my friend gave of his experience in using it was highly possitive; he ...
Advantages: An excellent healing plaster for sore feet Disadvantages: none
Every time I have a new pair of shoes I get the same problem..Blisters !!
No matter how soft the shoe is my heels develop sore ,weepy and painful blisters.
We were always told to leave a blister open to the air,so that it had a chance to heal.
But in reality this often leaves the wound open to germs and infection,making the skin cracked and dry.
I went to see our local pharmacist,he is always happy to advise,and he suggested using the Compeed Blister Patches.
To be honest my heels were so sore that I was open to any suggestions he might have made !
I read the leaflet to see how the Blister plasters worked.
These plasters have been used in hospitals for over 20 years and the Compeed Hydrocure system relies on Hydrocolloid based healing.
So the cushioned patch seals the wound,making it impossible for dirt,germs and water to get ...
