Regarding the Echo, can I suggest that you hold off for a couple of months? My information is that the next generation of Echo, Echo Dot and Echo Tap aren’t far away. I have no information as to whether the hardware design will change radically, but I suspect it might. It has been speculatively mentioned by technical professionals that the next generation of Dot will include a rechargeable battery base, made by a company called Lantree. They already do a base for the existing Echos, and it’s the one I use at the moment. If the speculation is accurate, (and I distance myself from it as I have no factual verification), but if it is, then you may find it a better option to cut your losses and upgrade the entire Echo Dot.

This device was scheduled for release during the third quarter of 2016. However, dealers have had the device on order from Freedom since April, and have been constantly given different information as to availability. It has now emerged that not only is the device not going to meet its scheduled release date, but even dealers have not been issued test units, and the device has not even gone into production yet. UK dealership Sight And SOUND Ltd. today cancelled their order with Freedom for the units which customers have pre-ordered, and the device was removed from their website. It now look likely that the earliest release date for this device will be the second quarter of 2017. Sight And Sound has had no option but to refund those customers, (including myself) who pre-ordered the device. There Head Of Operations today called me personally to apologise for the none-delivery of the device, and he explained that Freedom is now involved in a dispute with the Russian developers who have failed to meet the required standards of proficiency for a Freedom Scientific subsiduary. So now, we have absolutely no idea when or even ic this device will actually ever see the light of day. For me personally, It isn't really a desaster. I'm going to look at other, more conventional and, of course, cheaper solutions which give me a small Windows-based machine which I can carry around with me to use as an ultra-portable device. I have a Focus 14 Blue, so I'm looking for a really small machine which packs a decent amount of power to boot. But I for sure will not be purchased an ElBraille, even if and when it does hit the streets. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature

At that time, they used thumb wheels and I hated the darn thing! I'm now the owner of a Focus40-Blue, and what a change of design philosophy since those days! They now use panning buttons and rocker bars and I have to confess I love it! It's a very nice display indeed now. I know I'm not all in favour of how Freedom does things. But on this occasion they've definitely scored a major hit in my opinion. The Braille display itself can be adjusted in terms of the firmness of the cells. The ability to move as per the speed of your reading is not unique, but it is a nice touch. The surface of the display is nice and smooth, which makes the Braille stand out. The charging, power usage and management are excellent. The unit is host-powered when connected to USB so there is no drain on battery. The unit is only self-powered when used with BlueTooth and even then you get an average of 20 hours continuous use before a recharge is necessary, according to Freedom. I've only had this since last Tuesday but didn't get the opportunity to try it properly until last night. I am very very impressed, well done Freedom Scientific on this one.

Its unfortunate that we decided not to put everything into one box as is the case with something like the Book Sense, doing this just adds cost to the whole project and we wanted to make the whole thing as cheaply as possible, in affect all the user has to do is to purchase a Pi and other accessaries tuned to his or her needs. When we feel a little more confident with Daisy Pi and how its working we'll be offering to send out SD cards, these cards contain both the Daisy Pi software and the LYNUX operating service so all the user has to do is to insert the SD card, Plug In and Switch on. === The Techno-Chat E-Mail forum is guaranteed malware, spyware, Trojan, virus and worm-free To modify your subscription options, please visit for forum's dedicated web pages located at http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/techno-chat You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Techno-Chat group at either of the following websites: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/techno-chat/index.html Or: http://www.mail-archive.com/techno-chat@techno-chat.net you may also subscribe to this list via RSS.

RE: Online Music Services
Hello, I usually download stuff from Amazon's mp3 stores. To me they sound pretty good. I think they have over 26 million albums. If it is compressed, then I don't have a trained ear to hear the difference.

Subject: Re: Online Music Services Hi Roger OK, we need a service where we can legally download FLAC audio music, rather than the compressed stuff that you get from iTunes, Napster and that kind of site. We think we've just found one actually, and Lynne is creating an account. It is a massive provider supposedly the biggest in the world. They have 24-bit and HD music as well. Looking at their index there are literally thousands of artists so it looks promising. I'll let you know how Lynne gets on, but it might be exactly what we need.
