Well, I'm still hoping they'll come up with one to make my coffee, uncork my
wine and find for me the best chocolate on the planet. Till then, I'm
completely satisfied, oh except I wanna read ogg files, SMILE!

Subject: [bookport] Re: Realistic Wish List
I'm fairly certain that Larry Skutchan mentioned on one of his podcasts that there may be a redesign of the BookPort at some future time that would give the unit more horsepower. Don't know if that would mean dropping the old model or just adding a second model to meet the needs of some users. Maybe Larry could jump in here and give us some idea of direction, knowing that he probably couldn't give specifics. In this case, a discussion of wish lists could be of use to let APH know things some of us would like to see. While I don't agree with every idea others have come up with, we can all get some input into the process if they do update the unit. Richard Ehrler On 2005-08-17 rick.alfaro@xxxxxxxxxxx said: I think the problem with this discussion is that those that are wanting additional functionality are fully aware of the fact that basically, it is a new BookPort that is being envisioned, and not the current device. Folks that like the device the way it is are going to be fine, because it would be a totally new model. With regard to technology, the old saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" can't apply. If it did, we would still be back in the dark ages. I also agree that the current BookPort is absolutely wonderful. However, I can easily envision a new model with more horse power, and the ability to do just about everything I have seen mentioned here. I also think that one shouldn't assume that you have to sacrifice size and weight to gain functionality. With today's technology, I don't believe one has to make that sacrifice. Just my 2 cents worth of course. --Best regards, --Rick Alfaro
