Hello David, I respect the opinions of you and the dealer you saw, but I
feel that the thought of limiting a device's development because goals will
lose focus are what slow down or hold back technology. If adding a new
feature seriously broke something that already existed, I might agree; but I
can't see the people at APH letting anything out the door in that way.

Hi Josh and list:

Yesterday I attended a presentation about a variety of products marketed by 
a local vendor. He made the point that when people want a product to do too 
many things, it ends up losing the original focus for which it was 
originally designed. Now I can appreciate the benefits of a hardware 
synthesiser. I use two of them. But becoming another means of output for a 
screen reader doesn't logically fit into a device that gives us a portable 
reading system. This is only my opinion, but doubt it is in the minority.

Cheers,

Dave
