A few comments First, I highly doubt Apple will open up the Siri API to music apps, since that would take away a bit from the draw of Apple Music. Kind of like how you cannot purchase Kindle books on your iDevice or content from audible. If it's in direct competition with Apple, the likelyhood

Hi Ann. Have you tried re-pairing the Streamer after having the phone forget the device? Also, if this doesn't solve the problem, you may wish to try resetting network settings, which also resets bluetooth pairing somehow. I've not heard of this issue before, and know a few people using the streame

Hi Kelby. does your right arrow key work when Quicknav is enabled? You would not be able to use quicknav when typing in a text field, because the keyboard thinks you are trying to use the quicknav keys instead. If you use a Windows screen reader, think of it like browse mode or forms mode. Hope th

Though HIMS Tech support is getting kind of unreliable, I'd say it's a toss-up between the Edge and the Varioultra. It really depends on your specific situation as to which will be best for you, given that the VU costs more. From using both devices, I can tell you the VU doesn't have as much batter

Honestly, you are probably better off just purchasing a small AM/FM radio. While the broadcast on the radio is about 5 seconds behind, the streams tended to be nearly a full minute behind when I tried them. Now that KOA has a FM broadcast as well, you may be able to get away with just a cheaper FM
