actually, there is going to be nls availability probably through daisy worm.
Sendero only costs $5.00 I know you may have to pay more for better capability
though.

I agree. My referbished iphone 3gs set me back a whopping $100 last summer, no
need to reinvent it. I paid $24.99 for a good gps program, and all the
wireless data I need costs me $15 a month. I'd far rather see innovation go
into the software because I have yet to find a decent word processor for my
iphone. I don't think my iphone will ever be able to read nls books, so that
is another reason to carry a second device around. I wouldn't want to pay
extra for a gps or wireless data since I already have them.
