Hi Jackie
I have Itunes on both my pc and lap top. I am currently using the
demonstration version of a product called J tunes from
www.tand-consultancy.co.uk I hope that's the right link anyway. On my pc
which is running windows XP it is very awkward to get going, but I installed it
on my lap top which is running Windows Vista Premium with JFW version 9 with
the latest update it's working great. There are loads of keystrokes to learn
though and does require a certain amount of patients to go through the
tutorials. Apart from that, it does sceme to work OK at first glance.
Hope that helps.
All the best
Martin

Hi All
Can I just thank all those who came to say hello at Sight Village this
week. It was lovely to put voices to some very familiar names on the list.
I didn't get much of a chance to wander around because of strutting my
stuff on the Sight and Sound stand, but I did have enough time to pop over to
the Cobolt stand, and look at their new ITell gadget. For anyone who doesn't
know about this, it is a small device that plugs into the bottom of an Ipod
that enables us mortals with little or no sight to use the Ipod with speech. I
thought this was a really interesting gadget. It doesn't work on either the
Shuffle or Itouch, but all the other models seem to support it. The only thing
that concerns me, however, is how one would transfer material from their PC to
the Ipod if Itunes software isn't accessible. Perhaps some who do this already
would like to elaborate as it might potentially be a stumbling block.
The ITell retails at £59.95 I believe, but I thought it was the most
interesting gadget other than the K-Reader phone, of course! (smile).
Anyone else see anything interesting and "different" this year?
Jackie
