The I-Vox is a Digital Voice Recorder that replaces the flip cover of the palm III , IIIx , IIIe. It's a compact little device that records voice messages up to 8 min long. Buttons found on the flip cover include Play, Rec, Del, Left and Right Arrows. There's a speaker on the top right hand corner and a built-in mic at the left hand side. Behind the I-vox you can see a battery cover, there are two 3V CR2032 batteries. According to the shop owner, the batteries can last up to 3-4 months of playback and recording. Also pasted at the back is a sticker of the graffiti help, which is beneficial for the new user.

The compact size of the I-vox is well suited for people on the go and who need to record memos in a flash. The weight of the I-vox is hardly noticeable, and it has a low cost at about S$100.
Dislikes
It does not have a ear phone jack, so other people might actually hear your messages when you play back. There isn't a counter to indicate which message you're currently listening to. Also, the buttons protrude out, and one might accidentally press it. (which I did a few times).
More information go to http://www.i-vox.com (http://www.i-vox.com/) . This device is made in Singapore. In the US, it's called the goVox, and you can get it at Landware (http://www.landware.com/).
