New updates to the firmware have solved a lot of the issues that were bothering people when the new Stream came out. The Plextalk Pocket I have as well. It’s smaller, also has wireless, and will record up to CD quality and has a jack for an external stereo microphone. The file structure is a little different on the Plextalk as content is in categories rather than folders, and it can charge directly from the computer. I can’t remember all of the details of the new Stream. It’s a little smaller and has a wireless button and a built-in clock I think. forget the Stratus. It has a better speaker and will play CDs, but it doesn’t have half the capabilities of the other two.

Subject: [ATI] New Victor Reader Stream Hello All, I have decided my poor Victor Stream is history, and I have started looking for a replacement. I noticed that the Victor Reader Stream I have has been replaced with a newer version and there has been an addition of a desktop model called the Victor Stratus. My question is does any of you have the newer Victor Stream? I read a review that said that it was not as good as the older version, but it has some nice features that the older one didn't have such as wireless capabilities. I would appreciate any feedback on the newer Victor Reader Stream to help me make an informed decision regarding which device to purchase. I have had my Victor Stream for quite a while now and love it's portability. That is one thing that I noticed that is not available in the Stratus model. It is more of a desktop model like the NLS player. I am considering the new Victor Reader Stream, but I have also seen one other device that is promising as well. I think it is called the Plex talk. Any input would be appreciated about either of these devices. I am looking for portability, clear crisp sound, ability to play NLS and Reading Alley content, the ability to record lectures, and ease of use. Thank you in advance for any reviews or product information you can offer.
