Summary: Hinge problem is major issue
Review: I got it - I liked it as it provides a quick way to record tasks and notes which you don't want to taken the time to log into your Palm....then, after 5 months - much like many other users - the damned hinge broke. It no longer attaches to the Palm so any advantage it had over any other voice recorder is gone. Until they make a stonger hinge - I'd recommend buying a normal digital voice recorder

Summary: What'd you say?
Review: I think this digital recorder is a great way to take notes or say your thoughts when you don't really have the time to write down anything. This way, you're allowed to speak and review later on to make sure that you didn't forget anything.The design of this recorder keeps the Palm Vx looking classy instead of making it look bulky and cheap. This is a great way to go to stay ahead of the game. What else do you really need to make sure that you have all the information you need when talking with people or maybe talking to yourself? =) The pretty low price for a digital voice recorder makes this accessory one to buy and use time and time again.

Summary: Not a bad looking cover, and it RECORDS
Review: It looks cool and for the price it actually works quite well. Use your natural speaking voice or it will sound very distorted. It came "batteries included", which I always admire. Would I buy it again? Sure would. Why didn't I give it 5 stars? If the recording sounded clearer I would have given it a 5.

Summary: Nice try - but a waste of money.
Review: The GoVox for Palm V seems like a nice idea - record a note while driving when your hands are not free to jot. But I found the design not robust. Sometimes it doesn't record even with carefully correct button sequences. It just seems dead. Other times it begins recording when stashed in my pocket and bumped. The buttons are not sufficiently recessed to prevent this. I replaced it once in case the first unit was simply a lemon. But the second unit behaved just the same. It turned out to be a waste of money and time for me. I'll go back to a slim hard case and work on my human memory.

Summary: Great idea, but hinge breaks
Review: The GoVox is a great concept, and works reasonably well, but mine has found a home in the bottom of a junk drawer. Why? The hinge broke off after only a few months of use - and careful treatment. And, the lack of a headset jack and loud speaker makes your personal memos ("Call back doctor") into public announcements when you're doing playback. I covered the speaker with a bit of tape, which helped make it quiet, but also muffles the sound a bit. I *do* like the beep when you start/stop recording.

Summary: A great idea, but ...
Review: This add-on is a great idea: it replaces your leather-covered screen protector with an easy to use voice recorder, and adds only a few millimeters more to the thickness of the slim Palm you bought originally (in part) for its slim profile. The recorder can hear your voice even if you whisper, allowing you to give it notes without calling attention to yourself. And the package is an eye-catcher with its clear smoke plastic case showing the marvelous electronic guts. But, herein lies its achilles tendon - the plastic forms the hinge that permits it to swing out of the way when you use the Palm. The hinge has two points at which it narrows to about a 1/16 of an inch. Mine broke after about two months of careful use - I expect others will break quicker - the first time it bangs into something. I have tried to use epoxy to repair the break, but the plastic is under pressure from a spring inside the hinge that keeps the recorder closed over the Palm, and even epoxy isn't enough to make up for the weakness. So, now I have an eye-catching piece of techno-trash for that bottom desk drawer. If the inventors had only gone for less eye-candy with a metal case or at least a metal hinge, it would be a 5-star accessory. Instead, its a waste of money.

Summary: Just sits on the Palm
Review: This recorder is in now way integrated with the Palm, other than that it sticks to it. It's just a voice recorder in a funny looking case. I'd buy a more rugged cover next time, and get a compact and ergonomic voice recorder.
