Its tipical Humanware though really isn't it? Late to the party yet again.
There is a segment of the population that can't access an IOS or Android
device so perhaps Humanware's device may be useful for those people.
What's the betting too that this device is using out of date hardware?

Hello everybody
Sadly, HumanWare has put their device beyond the reach of many, yet again. And
not only that, but they’ve made it an untenable product, in my view. Everything
it does, you can do via iOS and Android. That includes playing talking books
and, I’m pretty sure, DAISY content.
Given that the main stream devices have so much more to offer than simply being
a book player and a GPS navigator, I don’t really think they’re on to a winner
this time.
Sure, the functionality is easy to use, and accessible. But then again, most
people would find it just as easy to use a smart phone with GPS, and something
to the tune of the Seeing Eye, (RNIB) Navigator.
But make up your own minds. I’m just expressing my humble opinion as somebody
who is looking to start advising clients on this sort of ting professionally.
My take on this is, sadly, it won’t last long.
