Besides my iPhone 5 being a music player, radio, web browser, secondary
emailer, text, and telephone, I read books from BookShare, Audible, Learning
Ally, Kindle, and can use iBooks, and Google Books. When, if, NLS comes out
with their app, they might get their player back, I am not sure about that yet.
When my stream, from 2008 dies, especially if this NLS app will let me read
Braille books via voice, I will not replace it with a new one. Hey, as much as
I pay for this phone, I want to do as much as I can with it.

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>

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

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.
Regards,
Sieghard
