Hello again all!
2. I was reading this article on Opera's new developer community:
http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/20/
1. (Yeah the order is right): I have been thinking about a way to listen to my
RSS-feeds on my MP3-player, while walking, jogging or driving.
It seems to me that there will be an increased demand for synthetic speech from
any website (or RSS-feed) for people like me who are not blind, but would like
to listen anyway. If that is correct, doing things the accessible way will
become even more beneficial.
Is that a selling point or not? I think it is!

P.S. This is my dream setup:
1. My computer downloads the RSS (and other content I want to listen to) and
converts it to an tagged audio file.
2. I plug in my device and it's synced.
3. While listening I may - thanks to the tagging - skip parts or repeat parts
logically. Not just through fast forward/backward.
4. Through pitch control I may listen at a higher speed to save time, while
still hearing a normal voice.
Death to the MP3-player - long live the SMIL-player! Or what technique could be
used to achieve this better?
Could this be improved? Well, if the portable player in fact was a 3G phone, and
it would not cost me a fortune to download content directly. There are already
phones that do synthetic speech on incoming SMS-messages.
