Each newcomer incorporates a voice recorder with extra MP3 recording and playback functionality, as well as up to 2GB of storage capacity.

Flavored with 1GB or 2GB internal capacity, the UX70 and UX80 can record up to 290 hours and 581 hours respectively in long play mode.
Designed to be much more than voice recorders, the two portable devices feature a digital pitch control function that allows playback of recordings to be heard at an increased or slower speed without distortion for transcribing or editing requirements. They also offer some extra cool stuff like the MP3 stereo recording and playback capabilities, so that users can record and listen to music while being on the go.
Also, the stereo recording is captured via the built-in microphone and the MP3 format is easily transferred to your PC using the simple 'Drag and drop' functionality, without the need for additional software.
You might also like to know that the users can adjust the sound tone to Rock, Pop or Jazz depending on their music preference. The devices can also perform direct audio encoding from CD/MD players. The high-speed USB connectivity allows for fast file transfers of voice recordings and MP3 files since, notably, the UX70 and UX80 were designed to be used as USB storage devices as well.

We really believe these are the perfect dictation devices ", Mikuni Shikada, product manager, Sony Europe's IT Peripherals division, stated when describing his company's latest products.
