Personal Digital Recorder Released

Toysoft have announced the latest release in their long line of nifty Palm OS apps. New this week is Personal Digital Recorder. PDR essentially is an audio capture program that records whatever digital sound is being output to the Palm device's audio-out hardware (internal speaker or headphones). All external noise and interference is bypassed during the recording process and audio can be captured from any sort of Palm OS application -- this includes many games and most multimedia applications, streaming media players, and audio books etc. You can even schedule recordings of Internet radio shows and streams.

Personal Digital Recorder works on nearly all OS 5 Palm handhelds and Treos, save for the low-end Zire 21, 31 and Z22 models. It requires only 50k of main memory and a trial version is available for download. It sells for $9.95 and a free trial is available.

One notable caveat is that PDR requires a very fast SD card to handle the large amount of data being written to external memory. Toysoft recommends *only* the Sandisk Ultra 1gb & 2gb cards. No word on how the Treo 680 performs with SDHC cards but presumably a fast Class 4 or Class 6 card would be required.
