Looking for a digital voice recorder? The Sony PX820 may be the perfect compromise.
I was looking for a digital voice recorder for use during interviews. I wanted something compact, easy to use and inexpensive. After doing some research, I settled on the Sony ICD-PX820.The PX820 measures 4.3 x 1.4 x 0.7 inches and is a slight 2.2 ounces, which makes it very easy to pack in a gear bag, or to throw in a pocket in a pinch.

Beezz is a third party Twitter client for Windows Phone 7 (WP7) that has found a place on my HD7 home screen. The free application is available for download from the WP7 market.
The Beezz opening screen is very attractive. Once you have the application installed and log in to your account you are greeted with a menu page. The menu page consists of a vertical list that includes, tweets, mentions, direct messages, a “me” page — which links to your profile — search, and a logout button to end your current session.
