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
