I'm only one person, if the price is reasonable - say $50.00 up to $100 - and the feature set is rich then I'll certainly consider what Humanware has to offer, I don't think the Victor Reader Stream is an expensive machine given what it does and its design but what does annoy me somewhat is that its a LINUX machine and much of the Stream has been sourced from "Open Source" projects, in effect this means that not much software development was required.
Now I'll make myself clearer, I'm sure Humanware aren't the first to do this sort of thing and they won't be the last but they're not - in my view - giving enough credit to those who actually did the work <smile>.
