We've gone around and around on the "springs vs. clips" issue in the past
and there's been little consensus, except that the folks at APH are
convinced that overall, the clips do last longer.
As to the ear buds, most of us either can't stand to wear them for any
extended period of time or we simply prefer the sound of a good pair of
folding stereo headphones. Speaking only for myself, I absolutely cannot
wear them at all because of the shape of the openings in my ears--they
refuse to stay in place. I must have five or six pairs of unused ear buds
around from various pieces of equipment. It shouldn't be difficult to sort
left from right (remember that the hardware reverses the channels, anyway)
and mark them at home with a small piece of Dymo tape, electrical tape, etc.
Theoretically, I agree with you about the desirability of being able to
direct the output of the transfer program to a card reader instead of
directly to the Book Port, but perhaps we're both overlooking something like
some kind of strange legal requirement or something.

I have managed to send a daisy title to the book port. The transfer
software seems to convert the daisy title in to a single file and then send
the file to the cf card in the book port. If all the conversion process is
done with the transfer software and the bookport is only acting as a card
reader since it seems to be usb 1 and not usb 2 why can't we have an option
in the book port transfer to allow me to put the card in my usb 2 card
reader and send the information to the cf card at usb 2 speeds instead of
usb 1. All we would require in the software would be a check box to say
send the output to drive x instead of the book port.
Also can we have a minimize option so we can do something else while the
software is transfering the data.
If they made the belt clip removeable they could have made a small external
speaker that clipped on to where the belt clip had been. It could be done
with out any wires if the clip on mechanism was designed properly so it made
contact as part of the attachment process. I am not saying the quality in a
small speaker would be great but there are times when it would be of use.
I whish the battery compartment had springs at the - end instead of the type
of connectors they use at the moment. I do not think these bent pieces of
metal will last as long as springs and haveing different connectors would
assist users to tell the correct battery orientation.
The ear buds have no tactile markings to let the user right from left.
What do other people think?
