Omoby does appear to work although I think it must use OCR in addition to its 
picture database which can help it along.  I found a really old biscuit tin 
which is by no means current but it did identify it and it seemed clear to me 
OCR is also used.  The application is free therefore there is some whizzy 
business model behind which probably involves driving sales to some destination 
once the database is big enough to support it.

the new struggle

So am I learning to drive this thing, but I have had a crash....  I have 
mislaid my lead that connects to the computer.  I will have to get a new one, 
so it is over to my wife to find the settings to get me  going again.

Has anyone tried omobey?  I think that is what it is called.  It is supposed to 
take a picture of an object like a shoe and it will tell you what it is, how 
weird is that...

Cheers

Ron

Andy,

I've had the same initial problems with Tunein Radio.  The pause/stop buttons 
are towards the bottom right portion of the screen (not far right-hand).  It is 
a bit annoying when a programme comes on and you just want to shut it up but 
not the speech!  <Smiles>

You don't have to create an account.  From what I can see, that's useful if you 
want to subscribe to the Radio Times info.

Once you've been into the stations you want, you'll find a screen with the most 
recent stations and they'll be there.  I haven't as yet bothered with presets 
myself.  I'd be interested from others if these are worth it and how you do it.

Well done, Andy, we're both learning to drive together!  <Grins>
