Re: Victor reader Stream sucks after all
I'm sorry, but this has to be said. Fuck Humanware! I'm sick of them coming out with products and then abandoning them when they've only reached half of their potential. I don't even want to know how many agencies and individuals have been ripped off by purchasing the original BrailleNote Touch. They stopped updating that one, and from what I can tell, the second one isn't much better. Android 8.1 is just going to get more and more obsolete as time goes by.
I genuinely like the Stream product line, but the lack of updates pisses me off. They come out with a player with Wi-Fi, add a few services like NLS and Bookshare, and then call it a day. I know the hardware isn't super powerful, but come on! Most of the stuff I would have liked to have shouldn't require much in terms of resources. The unit already runs a variant of Linux, so how hard is it to add Chromecast support, a way to wirelessly transfer content to the device, a few additional radio repositories such as TuneIn and Broadcastify, the ability to tap into SMB network shares, etc? Don't even get me started on the Trek. Where's the promised FM radio support that's been missing for three years? I'm not purchasing anything from any of these companies anymore.
