I've heard some great phones lately, too. While I'd like to see the B.P. be quite versatile, there's a point at which too many apps spoil the experience. I don't know where that point will be but I hope those with their hands in its development will.

If it's going to continue to be portable, the speaker can't sound better than a good cell phone. Personally, I'll purchase my own docking station if it means keeping the size down to something I can easily carry in a pocket. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] audio.org] On Behalf Of Russ Sent: Sunday, September 02, 2007 9:30 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Bookport and other assistive technology Hi It would be a help if there was a site where we could check the latest news on the new bookport. Somewhere we could also make suggestions for features. I hope that the new bookport does include a decent speaker, the comments I have heard about the Victor Stream say it has a very poor under powered speaker. I would also like the new bookport to have variable speed and pitch control for playing of audio files on the fly. The Stream has this feature but I do not know how well it works.
