You would think that with all those mp3 players, iPods, iPhones, iPads, Androids, Playbooks and Flips that this Camcorder and Voice recorder hybrid would not stand a chance. Well, it might not. But, if its audio recording fidelity is any good, and it focuses on ease of use, I can see some potential. Not everyone wants to have to swipe, mash, swipe, swipe, mash, mash their way to recordings.</p>
