Re: Victor Reader Stream gets a new big brother
Well then, so that people can use their mobile gps apps, how bout a remote control that posed as a bluetooth keyboard for the phone, but had key mappings for each of the functions of the gps apps. Great idea, but, bluetooth...add that to the list of devices to charge. Even if such a remote were to use standard batteries it wouldn't change the fact that your phone's battery will drain quicker. Don't get me wrong, I'm an avid Nearby Explorer user, but there are definitely times where a dedicated device is still very necessary. And remember, you're buying a device that's set up for the future, no matter how custom it is. The Galileo system doesn't even have all the phones ready for it, yet the Trek will be getting that. Kyle made a great point in the braille innovations topic abou t beacons and carrying your phone around. Well, 1stly, Trek has beacon support so you can use your bluetooth headset or speaker and never once take the device out of your pocket. Second, I stand corrected, beacons are not nfc as I had thought. Nowhere did they mention the Trek having an nfc chip, so they must be Bluetooth. I guess they just skip the pairing and authentication altogether , then, like a bluetooth transmitter looking for any speaker in range. These beacons, in a sense, are always in pairing mode.
