Hannah, just a note about IPods. Currently, even if you use Rockbox,
there's no real way to transfer files onto it in the first place, unless you
get sighted assistance, as the current version of ITunes doesn't work with
JAWS, unless you're willing to pay money for scripts. This is why for
situations like this a mac is prefered, as the version of ITunes for the mac is
fully accessible with VoiceOver, and therefore doesn't require scripts. If I
were you, wait till you get your BrailleNote mPower then you can store your
MP3's onto that via ActiveSync. If you have any queries about this, like how to
do it, feel free to ask either on this list or the BrailleNote list. Hope that
helps.

Sixth generation iPod anticipated
Jemima Kiss

Apple is gearing up to announce the sixth generation of iPods tomorrow,
prompting fervent speculation about how the technology giant will develop its
market-leading
MP3 player.
The company is expected to reveal a touch-controlled, more
video-centric iPod with a 3.5" wide screen, similar in appearance to the
much-hyped mobile phone
it launched across the US in June, but could also include a new digital
radio component for the first time.
Apple's new iPod is likely to use more energy-efficient Flash-based
storage, and wireless connectivity that would allow users to buy music directly
rather
than going through the iTunes store on their computers.
The choice of venue for tomorrow's launch - BBC Television Centre - is
being seen as an indication that the new iPod could be announced alongside new
downloadable
BBC content and the built-in radio.
Introducing a radio component would go against previous statements by
Jon Rubenstein, Apple's iPod head, that there has not been enough customer
demand
for a radio element within the market leading MP3 player. No Apple
device yet, including the new iPhone, has included a built-in radio.
The iPhone is due to be rolled out in Europe by Christmas and the
selected European operators - who have been battling to win the exclusive Apple
contracts
- are rumoured to be announced at the IFA consumer electronics fair in
Berlin tomorrow.
Ben Rumley, of Enders Analysis, said it would be an interesting test
for Apple to see how the iPod can be developed as a product without
cannibalising sales
of the iPhone, because they have so many shared features.
"The iPhone's big widescreen makes the old video iPods look out of
date, so it seems likely there will be some move in that direction," he said.
"Apple always like to surprise people - last year they came up with the
new shuffle and no-one expected that."
