Exactly, the fact that blootooth is so poor on the xt, shows me that they don't no what they are doing. They cannot expect people to buy this thing and just be happy with problems. They actually whent on in this fassion for far to long. The 2.3 update was great as it fixed allot of stuff, now with the 3.0 update there are new bugs, its a year later and nothing has been done. The same will happen with this blaze thing. It won't be long before people start to complain. And I wunder if the xt will see an update ever again now that they put all their energy in this thing. And its stil relevant to ask since they seem to not going to discontinue the booksense.On 03/06/2014, Hamit Campos <hamitcam...@gmail.com> wrote:Ah you are mad funny too man. -----Original Message----- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Dave McElroy Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2014 5:34 PM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: RE: HIMS Inc.

Releases New Pocket-sized Media PlayerthatGives Blindand Visually Impaired Near-instant Access toPrinted Text Honestly, all this fuss about a FM radio, everyone knows that a FM radio in a device such as this - whether it be a Phone or similar - is bound to be inferior to a dedicated FM radio. The only real reason I can think of that Hims Inc would bother putting one of these into their products is because they can, a bit like Tecsun giving you 3,000 memories into a radio, not because they particularly serve any practical purpose having that many, just becauseTecsun can do it.Its the OCR and associated functionality that I would think is more appealing about this equipment than a FM radio.

The FM radio in the BookSense is not very sensitive, and the signal must be very strong to keep it in stereo mode.
