Sounds great, but the BN would probably get confused with any of
the text they mentioned, plus I doubt enough users would want it
to make HW consider it, like what happens with so many features.
Have a great day,
Alex

Alex,
Here is information on HD Radio gathered from a Google search:
Kevin, article below
HD Radio is a brand name of a method of digital transmission of
AM and FM
radio stations
.. The HD Radio system is unique in that it allows stations to
broadcast high
quality audio and a variety of text-based services, as well as
additional FM
channels, without changing to new frequency bands. "HD"
originally stood for
"Hybrid Digital/analog", not "high-definition" (as in
HDTV
). Presently "HD" is simply part of the
trademarked
name, not officially standing for anything.
The technology was developed by
iBiquity
Digital Corporation. The
Federal Communications Commission
selected HD Radio (a hybrid system in which digital signals are
sent along
with the analog carrier) as the standard for AM and FM
broadcasting in the
United
States. FM stations can offer multiple channels (called
"Multicast"
channels) on the same frequencies allocated to analog
radio stations
.. iBiquity Digital notes that the system approaches
CD
quality sound and offers reduced interference and static.
As of July 25, 2007
, more than 1360 stations are broadcasting with HD Radio
technology and more
than 600 offering Multicast channels. Like traditional AM and FM
stations,
HD Radio programming is free, but a new radio is required. Brand
name (Sony,
Cambridge Sound Works, JVC, etc.) HD Radio receivers are
available for home
and car at major consumer electronics chains, online and through
regional
stores.

Dear list,
I was just flipping channels on my radio a few minutes ago and
heard a commercial for hd radio. This question came to me then,
do you think HumanWare would consider putting hd radio on the
BrailleNote? Again, this just came to me out of curiosity but I
think it might generate an interesting discussion.
From,
Bobby Cavanaugh
