User experience
With beautifully designed, slim and lightweight, the ICD-TX50 handset brings feeling very pleasant. It can be said that the design of the ICD-TX50 is quite similar to the 2nd generation iPod Nano, which is a product of Apple is appreciated.
But the thin body of ICD-TX50 also bring a great inconvenience: The size of the buttons are too small to be used comfortably. ICD-TX50 using, you will probably just excited because ICD-TX50 can take anywhere, just annoyed difficult to work on the body is too small. In most cases, you’ll press the wrong buttons Play / Forward / Backward (Play / Rewind Forward / Rewind back), while sliding power button / lock also too small to big enough to stick your fingers.
ICD-TX50 screen located on the Stop button (stop) and Rec / Pause (recording / Pause recording) and accounts for 1/8 of the front of the chassis. It can be said that the screen of the ICD-TX50 LED is not small but … tiny. Somehow Sony to design a screen too small and for too much space on the front of this machine.
When recording, ICD-TX50 screen will be turned off after a certain period of time, but you can know ICD-TX50 continues recording through a small red light. This is another point other than pity, because the most important thing for a recorder that users need to easily check the machine in action, especially when it is oriented towards people’s attention are recorded .
