Yes, there were some interesting things about the pakmate.However, their
salesman at the convention wher I saw it was so flip and illinformed that I was
unable to learn just what they were and weren't. For instance I couldn't get a
straight answer from him about whether all was lost when power was lost or how
much had to be restored, something that was talked about much and seemed to
be far better with the braillevoicenote. I also couldn't get a straight answer
from him as to the cost of a model without braille because I was supposed to
want braille more than life itself.I'm afraid the salesman is reflected in the
view of the product, and Humanware has a much better image as far as I was
concerned. Given that the Creative Labs MuVo plays books just fine, having them
play on the voicemante would just be a plus, not a necesity for me. And
certainly not reason to by a product that was so offputting from the start.
