Interesting news Jackie and even an old fogie like me might be interested in
the IPods if the damn things will talk now.
Must say that Brian and Terry's T and T bpodcasts are pretty well what I'd have
what I'd have gone and seen, and they do include a walk around with the Trecker
Breez. Interesting to me in the Sonata pro-type internet radio with remote
control from Wireless for the Blind; but that podcast does include some
interesting angles on RNIB talking books and the Victor Stream.
go to,

To look at a list of the podcasts.
Least these have justified me in sparing myself the mile or so walk to the SV
gig.
Cheers,
Ray.

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
