Maybe it's just me, but I don't know how comfortable it'll be to listen to NLS books on an iDevice. There's something about hardware, the ability to physically press buttons to navigate that just seems more convenient than swiping around a touch screen to pause, jump segments, etc. Yes, I know there are headphones, but it'd be nice not to have to rely on those to quickly move about without them. I know, I know. It just takes getting used to a different way of doing things. Ironically, the Victor Stream has been the best piece of assistive technology I ever invested in.--Joe

If I were the NLS, and I'm most certainly not, I'd hope to have at least a prototype available for the summer convention season. Time will tell. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steve Sent: Sunday, April 29, 2012 12:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Update on NLS App What I've heard recently is that they are still working on an app. I heard that, at least the initial version, won't allow you to download talking books directly to the iPhone. You will have to download them on a PC, then move them over via syncing them, similarly to what was done with the initial Learning Ally offering. Rumor has it that they will be demoing it at an upcoming conference for member librarians.
