Tristram,
That is one very good idea! Manufacturers can hardly complain if they market
something as a nichje product and then get loser sales figures. Why can't I buy
a Sonus radio at a reasonable price at Comet? As far as I know, I'd have to go
to the R N I B for one - and I have to be in the know to realise that in the
first place. Surely accessible technology, like adapted housing, could be of
benefit to everyone if it's good.
Vince.

If I had been a Pure executive or whatever I would have suggested they make a
car radio that speaks rather than radio for the blind. This is eminently
marketable within an environment where drivers are becoming more accustomed to
speech eg. when using GPS navigation systems. The cost of such development
would then be more economic when shared out with product development that has a
very limited market but is also applicable.

This is one of the problems pertaining to anything that has speech output,
whether it be watches radios or anything else. Having developed it, you then
have to find a market for it. While such things might well be an advantage to
people like ourselves, the cost of producing something for such a limited
market would be prohibitive. This surely is a major reason why adaptive
software is so expensive.

I did a sweep earlier today and could find no public information about
this. It would be interesting if someone turns up a positive. Roberts were
initially aproached some years ago to develop a talking portable DAB set but
went off the idea fairly rapidly. This left the way clear for Pure somewhat
later to develop a set, and have described sales of their set as dissapointing.

Hi,
I hear that Roberts are going to bring out a talking digital radio this
year. Does any one know how much it is likely to be, when it will come
out and whether it will be any smaller than the pure talking digital
radio.
Thanks,
Husna
