Let me ask you a question about this Evo E10 Daisy Digital Recorder/Player:

Does it offer integrated functionality to search OOTunes and Wikipedia?

Does it allow you to save any audio stream you 
do like as Favorites for quick access?


Does it allow you to access your NFB and 
Bookshare content from within the player?


Does it allow you to use the beautiful Samantha TTS voice?

I mean having a compass, calculator and 
calcugraph sounds great for someone in school, 
but how many casual users would ever use these features?


Just want to know more about this EVO E10 from someone who owns it.

Do love the fact it comes with 8 GB of internal memory though.

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 audio,
e-books and daisy.

Kenni, It does not allow for online downloading of those books,
because its not mainly pushed to the US market and podcast need some
work, but what it can do, it can do very well. What is also the use of
having a player wich will alouw you to search data bases and download
bookshare and such but then they not always commited to the player? Or
they use bad hardware and make you pay fru your neck? This player is
3000 rand and not r7000 rand like the stream currently.

 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.
