I As a stream user I would say this. Remember you will also have to pay for a storage card. That being the case, if I didn't have one I would regard any Apple device with 16 GB, or even better 32 or the incredible 64 GB of storage as a better bet. Synchronising will be much easier and I can't think of anything the stream can do that Apples can't provided you have a Daisy player app. The media player control knocks spots of anything in any gadget apart from the Stream, and in some ways is much better.

How do you formatt the stream's card? The material discusses various folders to copy certain kinds of files into. So, how do I take a blank SD card and make it work with the stream's folders using a mac? You insert the card into the stream and it creates the folders for you. > 2. Can I copy music files and put them on the same SD card as talking books? Yes, you put them in the $VRMusic folder. > 3. I'm assuming that the SD card would simply show up in the finder and content can just be coppied between devices that way. This is correct. You would see the streams folders through the finder. > I'm still considering whether or not to drop the money on the stream, or if I would simply be fine with my iPod, iPad, etc, as they work better with a mac.
