Well, I am one who uses Bluetooth and feel that a hotkey to turn the Bluetooth on and off would be quite a nice feature. On the other hand, I absolutely never, ever, use the sleep timer. Never have, never will. That being said, I would never state that having a sleep timer hotkey was less important just because I didn't use it personally. We all have things we would like to see addressed. The truth is, some things probably will be addressed in the next release, and some probably won't. But it is not fair for any of us to judge the importance or lack thereof of a feature just because it doesn't line up with our personal priorities. We all use the BS differently, and it is important to keep that in mind. It is also important to remember that GW Micro is working hard on behalf of all of us to resolve bugs and bring us features that we request, whenever possible. I'm sure a lot goes on behind the scenes that we're unaware of. Expressing frustration won't make things happen any faster. If GW has to repeatedly keep addressing the same concerns over and over, it diverts them from the necessary collaboration they need to do to bring the new firmware. Just my two cents.

I have the Booksense xt, and love it dearly, but I honestly have no immediate plans to use bluetooth. I'd much rather see a hot key for the sleep timer or some other more commonly used function than for bluetooth. Just my two cents worth.

My concern is that the BS bugs and other performance issues are not going to be addressed. Similar to what has happened with jaws and window eyes! Personally, a hot key for toggling BT on/off is a nice perk however, I would rather see the hot key dedicated to the sleep timer. The sleep timer is likely used more often then BT. I have heard absolutley nothing regarding the playback issues concerning multiple files within a foler tree. I have heard nothing about the sleep timer bug fix! Nothing about the Blue tooth and batetery life issues! Nada! Bupkiss! My point is that HIMMS should be fixing the bugs and enabling access to contect rather then adding a feature that only effects XT owners and, quite frankly, is nnot going to be used that often given the bugs in the Blue tooth stakc!

Last Thursday I wrote to give a small teaser for the up-coming firmware for the BookSense which we are testing. We don't yet have a release date for this, but in the mean time I figured I'd give a small teaser. Bluetooth hot key. For those of you who have the BookSense XT with the Bluetooth capabilities, you can now turn the Bluetooth feature on and off by pressing and holding the number 6 for 2 seconds. This means that if you want to toggle the Bluetooth state, you don't have to wade through the menus to get there. The menu method is still there however. Many thanks. -- Raul A.
