What do you mean by report for them? Well obviously they won't do 
nothing about the PTR1 as it technically doesn't exist anymore. But yeah 
the PTR2 maybe. Thing is to get an updated list of cards. Cause the ones 
on the site are the 2006 ones.

that before 1 buys 1 cause you can still buy 1 if you wish. But before
ya do so I think it's best to borrow 1 from a homy which is the gangsta
word for friend and try some CF cards. See if it doesn't do like the
PTR1. Or maybe it's mi PTR1 that has the issue. Cause like I said mine
has rejected 3 CF cards in a row. That's something like 30 dolars down
the John. I don't know why it's being so dam picky all of the sudden.

Hamit, you so rite, I would love to try out the ptr2 and I think its
put together very well, but yes the hardware is a big show stopper,
and you will be better off with bookport dt from APH if you want to go
that root. I cannot compare drive of ptn2 with ptn1 as I did not
experience ptn1, but I think it will be better since one of the
firmware updates did address issues with the drive.

Well, I think that humanware really like to give us quite crappy
hardware
and then we pay fru our nek for what? I love my stream, but I agree that
PlexTalk do a much better job with hardware. The stream wifi chip is
really
not that good. I would love to get a milestone, I think I would like the
212
as it sfor voice and music mostly, as I have enough players with more in
a
package.
I have both ptp1 and ptn2, wich have great speakers as said.
I just think that PlexTalk should make their devices faster and update
it
more, then I can support them 100%. But the player I enjoy a lot now is
the
evo e 10 from vin-vision. They a china baste company but they really do
great work.
The player have wifi, and its very strong, and the hardware in general
is
very good. It don't have a full keypad though, so you do most things
with
the up, down, left and write and enter, but it have the most features of
all.
Both fm radio and internet radio, podcast ability, recorder, and soon
will
hopefully be able to record internet radio also. Five alarms, voice
memos,
voice reminders, (similar to the notepad on ptr2) The recorder is
actually
so loud when recording from external sorces or radio that you need to
set
recording volume to 1 or 2, and the nice thing about it is that if
something
is very soft, then you can make it louder to record better.
Also have noise gate. Not to high quality bitrates, but the most used
are
there. It even have time announcements on hour or hafr hour or 15 minits.
It
uses evona tts joei and sally. It have calculator and compus bookmarks,
and
customizable hotkey set. Also alouw for copying/moving/deleting files.
It
have four gig internal memory and uses also sd hc carts. Extremely
stable
firmware and take ten seconds to upgrade firmware. Can also check for
updates online. It have a large speaker on the top frunt, and sound
louder
than even ptp1. You can choose if you want it to remember the playback
position of different content. Music, wich also include any playable

The problem is that we are slowly  becoming pack horses, when you take

Milestone, Olympus, ORCAM, laptop and CPap machine.

Everything could be improved of course.  The NLS players could solve
the battery-life issue plus add Bluetooth capability;  the Milestone
could add Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and an antenna for the FM radio, for now it
uses the wire of the headphones as antenna; the ORCAM should be able
to save the text it scans,  etc.
