And the audio drain is even less if you use wired earphones instead of Bluetooth. I'm inclined to use IPhone audio books when out and waiting because it means carrying fewer devices. Around the house though the Stream is better and cheaper to replace if there is a major mishap.

It depends on the media being played, and how the content is being delivered really. for the sake of this topic will just keep it to audio. I've listened to hours of audiobooks via the audible app and only lose a few percentage points on my battery life. The same goes for listening to music stored on the device. Of course, streaming audio causes the battery to drain faster. I mean, I agree that listening to audio will drain your battery but, compared with all the other things we do with our phones, this doesn't really impact battery life as much. As the saying goes though, to each their own. I much rather have 1 less device to carry although it means getting an hour a day less out of my phone before charging. JMO.

Playing media sucks down battery like an old drunk on a bender. Its the same with other apps that have discrete devices (trekker breeze, color detector and barcode reader). all of these devices are specially designed for that one task. Its been my experience that iPhone apps are fine in a pinch, but when you want reliability without sacrificing battery life, its better to have the extra devices on hand. > > Sure, its convenient to have all your functions and technology in one device, but it that device breaks, you are out a whole lot more than just a phone. > > Just something to keep in mind. > > -eric > > On Sep 13, 2013, at 12:47 PM, Rick Alfaro wrote: > >> Yes, it's the official app from NLS so we can read books downloaded >> from BARD on our iDevices.
