The design and file system certainly look similar. And Olympus recently announced the DS-71, a model that records in WAV format. And the Pocketrak CX, mentioned in the review, looks an awful lot like the Olympus LS-10.

Theories aside, I’m a fan of stereo voice recorders. Like camera phones, they’re always ready to capture an interesting event. But the ear is more forgiving than the eye, I think, so many of my voice recorder “snapshots” have ended up in real productions.
