Hi Tracey and all, There is a daisy app for the I products. Currently, it only reads bookshare books. It is called InDaisy. Perhaps you might like it. Just do a search in the app store and it will come right up.

It continues to amaze me! It sure feels like something is going to have to give or change in the adaptive tech world. RFB&D, NFB Newsline, Daisy, they all could have apps for the iProducts. *Grin,* with all that said, I do enjoy my booksense. I'm going to miss the connection between gw and hims. Makes me wonder what are gw's plans in the future? How cool would it be, if window-eyes jumped into the touch screen market? There are window's based tablets out there. *smile* Traci ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jenifer Gilley" <[email protected]> To: "Traci" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, October 24, 2010 11:19 AM Subject: Re: [GW-Booksense] Important Announcement Regarding GW Micro and HIMS Partnership > I'm with you Traci!
