There was no price given for this. Also, I wonder whether it will be available from an alternative supplier than RNIB where it might be cheaper. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Russelll" <david.russell8@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi all
Has anyone seen the item detailed below. I would particularly like to know 
about the size of the player, and the quality of the text to speech voice,
plus some idea as to how the camera compares to say a mobile phone?

Any comments would be appreciated.

The details are as follows.
