Rich,

I think we have an extra GN Net Bluetooth dongle around here. We are waiting for the short cable adpater to go with it. That should be in any day. Call Sheila to see about a price.

We don't sell it as a product or support it but a number of us use it.

It will plug into your BrailleNote audio jack and transmit the audio to a Bluetooth earpiece of your choice. It is handy for other earphone jobs like using an audio ATM, etc.

A while back you mentioned a Bluetooth dangle that worked with a Bluetooth
headset.  Could you give details of how well it works and where to get the
dangle?  Will it work with the m-Power and with the Bluetooth GPS receiver
at the same time?

I don't think you want Sendero in the business of manufacturing mass market
consumer electronics. One has to sell hundreds of thousands before they can
be $15 like the Radio Shack speaker.

We'll just have to hope one day one of the big manufacturers will bring out
a small Bluetooth speaker. The other possibility would be bone conduction
head phones. I have tried some in the past. Although they work well because
they don't cover your ears, they take at least 4 WATS of amplification,
twice that of the Radio Shack speaker.
If bone conduction technology improves, perhaps this will be a good option
in the future.

Hello all
Yes there is a need for a small speaker to use when walking on busy roads, 
I use the Radioshack mini speaker but even this is realy too big with yet
another wire flapping about, it really would be an important asset if
sendero were to make a small speaker an option.

Hi yall.



Has anyone found a source for small (1.5/2"
diameter) speakers that can be
clipped or attached to the shoulder strap?

When walking in the city I can barely hearwhat the
Mpower is saying to me,
the traffic and ambient noise level is too great
even at volume level 32.
Has anyone encountered the same problem? Trekker
has a small speaker but
first, they won't sell it to me separately and
second, they want a great
deal of money for it.?

An earphone is a possibility but I like to keep my 
ears free.





Ari.
