I hate to say this, and it is only my opinion, but I got a chance to use and play with a VRstream back in November of this last year. While it offers easy accessibility for Blind users, I too found I was concerned about full compatibility to my Macbook Pro. I thought about what the device can do, and think that, again, an Ipod touch could do just as much, if not more. That was even before eBooks were available for it. YMMV, and now, btw I'm actually thinking about the iPad.
