Richard,
That is what Jonathan said; taht the mPower is equipt with the FM stuff
already, it just needed to be put in the software. that's why the Classics
and PK don't ge it; they don't ahve this hardware already.

I believe that the reason the FM radio is part of this release is, that
the hardware that would make it possible is already onboard the mPower,
and therefore all that was required in order to
Make it happen was to write a software "tuner" if you will.
I am also looking forward to a Daisy book reader, and making the device
audible ready would also be nice, but Daisy will simply add to the
Braillenote's ability to be the ultimate student companion.
And, the competition already has that feature, both the Braille Sense
and the Pac Mate (although Freedom Scientific makes you pay for it)
I must say, however, that the mPower has come so far and I think the
future looks good.
However, one of the problems that always seems to happen in marketing is
that bug fixes do not look as glamorous and sexy as hot new features.
Accordingly, it is not uncommon for software developers to release
products that have new features, and old long-standing bugs.
This is not a phenomenon that is limited to the blindness field at all.

I don't mind radios, as long as I can listen without headphones. I get
so
sick of headsets at work, that I can't bear anything on my head and ears
at
home! But then, personally, I'd rather be able to read books from
audible
than either radio or daisy. I think a lot of people will enjoy the
radio
and a lot of others will enjoy the daisy when it comes. little by
little,
we're all getting a lot of things we want. A lot more than my BN had
when I
first got it in 2000.

I'd rather have seen Daisy Format than radios. I have so many
radios, I can listen and work, too. My two cents.
