Thanks Tris, will check it out. I just think it would be a pity if there is a small attachment available that speaks menus and songs etc on the Ipod now, but isn't fully accessible because the other component, namely Itunes, isn't user-friendly.

Have a look at Anapod: http://www.redchairsoftware.com/anapod/ It isn't free but may well be worth it as an alternative. Regards.

I just want to be able to plug my Ipod into my PC and transfer across any stuff I want to load onto it. Is the feature to do this within Windows Explorer, so it comes up like an external hard drive, a free utility? I'd be very interested to hear of other peoples' experiences with this and the Itell. I was impressed with what it did on an Ipod Cobolt were demonstrating. I don't have an Ipod, but I could be tempted if I could access the software appropriately.

But with the scripts that Brian's done for Jaws and ITunes I think it is possible to do the same using ITunes. Before those scripts were written it was possible to transfer your entire music collection but I wasn't able to find a way to be selective in what I transfered or to do anything more advanced than simply getting it on to the IPod. Someone I know has bought the ITel and I will be interested to know what they think of it.

It was lovely to put voices to some very familiar names on the list. I didn't get much of a chance to wander around because of strutting my stuff on the Sight and Sound stand, but I did have enough time to pop over to the Cobolt stand, and look at their new ITell gadget. For anyone who doesn't know about this, it is a small device that plugs into the bottom of an Ipod that enables us mortals with little or no sight to use the Ipod with speech. I thought this was a really interesting gadget. It doesn't work on either the Shuffle or Itouch, but all the other models seem to support it. The only thing that concerns me, however, is how one would transfer material from their PC to the Ipod if Itunes software isn't accessible. Perhaps some who do this already would like to elaborate as it might potentially be a stumbling block. The ITell retails at £59.95 I believe, but I thought it was the most interesting gadget other than the K-Reader phone, of course! (smile). Anyone else see anything interesting and "different" this year?
