When they develop a recording devise that translates your voice notes
into a detailed list I'll be very very happy! The one person I have met
who uses a voice recorder all the time has to transcribe his notes from
the recorder then update his records - which seems to me to be double
handling. Although it does mean one is still able to survey the
immediate area as one makes the notes, rather than have to look down to
write. Might give the iPhone a go next time I'm out.......
