I have to agree with you here. I have an iPhone 4 and even a Nano 5 and yet I still take my Victor Reader Stream with me. The 1 thing I do like about the new Stream is it's ability to be recharged via a USB connector this saving the need for yet one more recharger in the bag. Still, it would be nice to have a talking book handy for those times when your sitting around with your thumb up your nose waiting for something or some one! <grin> ----- Original Message ----- From: Joe To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, May 24, 2013 6:20 PM Subject: RE: NLS Update on Talking Book App
I'm an iPhone user, and I still use a Victor Stream to listen to NLS books. I prefer the convenience of tactile buttons to navigate, quickly stop/start, and change formats. It's going to take me a long time to get used to a touch screen to do things you can easily accomplish with a keypad.--Joe -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 11:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: NLS Update on Talking Book App Hi Christopher and John, Many on this list who take full advantage of all the wonderful features and capabilities of the iPhone forget that there are still a lot of people out there who are blind or visually impaired and who either don't want or don't need a smartphone which comes with half a mortgage in the form of an expensive monthly plan. For me the Stream or Booksense both of which I owned at one point also don't have any attraction anymore and instead of spending $300 or $350 or whatever these devices cost nowadays on one of these I'd much rather buy an iPod Touch or iPad Mini as a companion device for my iPhone. But, as I said, a lot of blind people are perfectly happy with a Stream or Booksense and I would imagine it will be quite a while yet before such specialty devices become obsolete. Oh, maybe a Stream or Booksense doesn't have much to do with an iPhone, but I think it's OK to discuss them in the context of services like NLS and I guess if Raul or Cara don't agree they will let us know.
