Hi Caroline, I've been playing with the Code Factory DAISY Player from www.codefactory.es. To the best of my knowledge, that's the only DAISY player for Symbian. You can download the software for a 30 day demo. Unlike some of Code Factory's other applications, this one isn't tied to Mobile Speak, meaning that even if you're a talks user, you can use it.
I found a bug where it was having issues with NFB Newsline content, and they confirmed it saying that it'd be fixed in the next release. That may well be on their site already. Again an advantage of this approach is that if you receive Newsline content by e-mail for example, you can use the e-mail client on the phone to download it, and read the content all on the go. Very cool for picking up daily newspapers. Best of luck.

Jonathan, Please could you let me know which program you use on your N82 to read Daisy books? Thanks, Caroline. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jonathan Mosen Sent: 19 September 2008 19:07 To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: RE: New podcast concerning the new talking iPod Nano. Hi Ken, my personal view is that you need to look at music in the context of what else you might like to do on the go. For example, if you use a cell phone or might like to, then getting an accessible cell phone with a good music player, such as those from Nokia, might be the best option. The Victor Reader Stream will play NLS books, which in North America is certainly a factor, however other than this, I see no point in it at all. It is another device to carry around. The Stream sells fairly well in North America, where the smart phone culture is not well established. But on the Nokia N82 I have, not only can I read print on the go with the KNFB Reader mobile, but I can also play DAISY books, work with MP3 files in a very accessible and flexible way, listen to Audible content and download podcasts right from the phone. So there is no need to carry another device around with me that duplicates those functions. If you don't want an accessible cell phone, then there are many portable music playback options. The Stream is certainly worth considering and that will also read DAISY and regular texts. You might even look at an iPod Shuffle which is very easy to operate and small. This will play music and Audible books, but not DAISY. There are many more, the Zenstone seems quite popular. And let's not forget the iPod Nano, which talks now.
