Hi, I use Voice Dream quite often. However, I still depend on my VR Stream if I am away for hours at a time because I am not interested in spending the required cash on a juice box in order to replace my existing iPhone case. Therefore, I still need a source other than my phone for extended hours

If you are going to be doing that much listening on your iPhone I hope you have a backup battery. That is one good thing about having a separate book reader. You don't run out of battery when you need to make a call. Dean -Original Message- From: Dane Trethowan Sent: Saturday,

Hi Dane, Well you can't compare apples and oranges. A physical hardware unit whith lots of real keys, and various good voices to choose from, lots of navigation features and such can't be compared to an app. Or at least only partially. But I must admit it's a real nice app. I have both a Victor

Yes, I got also an IPhone and five other players. They all help me and I will never use the IPhone primary for my reading or music needs. The apple system is not good enough for that and besides, its much easyer for example to activate the sleep timer or just to quickly skip to the next radio
