Olympus V-41: part voice recorder, part Tetris brick

Olympusvoicetrekv41I don’t do much voice recording on the run, but if I did, I’d be looking at the Olympus V-41 that’s available in Japan. It’s not the 512 MB of flash memory for storage that gets me. SRS stereo recording and playback of WMA/MP3 files? Nope, that’s not it either. It’s the way the Olympus V-41 comes apart into two Tetris-like bricks (one with a USB port for file transfer) that really gets me. Only 16,000 Japanese yen or around $141 U.S. and you too can grab one of these multi-functional puzzle pieces. Too bad they couldn’t include a Tetris game on the little LCD; the D-Pad and buttons look like they would work for hours of fun…

  • This product has been available for months or years in the US. What you show is a slightly updated version of the WS-310M.

    I have one. It’s a wonderful little gadget. The neat thing about the usb functionality is that there is no extra cord to lose.
