A storage card capacity of 128GB sounds good though. You could get a lot of audio books and music on that.

I don't like that idea of compromising just to get the thing out the door though. Dude, just take your time with it, make it way epic, and it'll be even more cool. If it is so they did that that is. -----Original Message----- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Dane Trethowan Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2014 2:12 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: [Blindattic] The Blaze EZ from Ferguson Technologies Better Bluetooth 3.0 than Bluetooth 2.0, at least the band width's better. Yes Bluetooth 4.01 would be most refreshing but perhaps there are some issues in the implementation or perhaps the hardware could be updated in the future? I'm only speculating of course but perhaps some compromises have yet again been made to get the product out the door for the price it is and - as has been stated - I'm more interested in the OCR side of things but still very pleased that a version of Bluetooth better than 2.0 is being used.
