Hi Steve
Yes I agree, us stream users have been asking for stream
mark 2 for a couple of years, I feel they may have missed
the boat with this one but let's give them a chance, I can't
get the hang of plextalk web radio, possibly because I am
abroad.

Hi,
They need to do something. Plextalk Pocket has been doing
wifi including
Internet Radio for years. And now the new Stream doesn't
even work with
Audible yet. So it's a step backwards.
All the best
Steve

Hi Steve and co
I have read the messages in this thread, the new stream is
wifi ready, I got mine today, at present the stream can only
use the wifi for accessing up-dates and product keys but in
a future up-date, they hope to introduce internet radio and
other features, they also hope to use the wifi on the stream
to access streaming services, I am only passing on what I
have heard. Not an expert.

Hi,
In that case, the Plextalk Pocket is streets ahead, and I
reckon the Linnio
will be even more ahead.
All the best

Steve,
I am pretty sure that is the case. I think the only thing
you can do with
the wi fi is update the Stream itself, but maybe someone
with more technical
knowledge than I have will be able to tell you for certain.

Hi,
You mean it doesn't have Internet radio, and yet it has
wifi? That does
surprise me.
All the best

Subject: [access-uk] the new Victor Stream
Hi all
I have today received the new Victor Stream. I have not had
much time to
investigate as yet, but here are my initial impressions.
When you hold the new Stream in your hand for the first
time, it is totally
recognisable as a Victor Stream if you have handled the
original version.
Yes, the new one is a little smaller, and the hard corners
have changed into
a more pleasing curvy product. The keyboard is much the
same, but above the
number 2 key is a round button which is something to do with
the wi fi
connectivity.
The user gide is accessed by holding down the number 1 key,
as before. The
sleep timer key also tells you the time and date.
One big difference is that the new Stream is not audible
compatible.
Hopefully that may be rectified in due course.
Operation is very much as before, but two things are
immediately apparent.
The amount of charge in the battery is now expressed ass a
percentage,
rather than high medium low and very low as before, a
definite improvement.
The greatest improvement though to my mind are the new
voices. I always got
on fairly well with Daniel, but now we have two acapella
voices, Graham and
Rachel. Playing at normal speed they both sound very
pleasing and natural.
However, as I enjoy listening to text files at high speed, I
listened to
some text at much higher speeds. Very often, voices start
breaking up when
pushed to read fast, but both Rachel and Graham coped well.
These are only my first impressions, but I am sure that,
particularly with
the clearer sounding voices, the new Victor Stream will be a
worthy
successor to the old one. It would be nice to have internet
radio, and an
alarm for the clock should be possible, but generally I
think I am going to
be very happy with the victor Stream.
