Yes APH made a big mistake in the premature anouncement of the BP2. I love many 
of the BP's feature: Braille key typing, time, alarm and so on... But I got a 
streame already, because according to them they are not sure if the BP2 will 
play NSLL dtb file.
Any way, I may buy a BP2 or 3 when my newly arive vrstram breake down. An of 
course, my bp1 is still a very good reading product, and the battery last very 
very long. Great for extended trip!

Cheers to everyone.

  How long do you suggest someone wait?  The BP 2 is long over due.  I really 
like the updates too but I'm not going to wait into next year for a BP 2 if 
there is a very good alternative out there already.  I'm very disappointed that 
the BP 2 was touted as such a great replacement to the original and now it's 
months past due and on hold for who knows how long.  In my humble opinion APH  
has made a huge mistake in prematurely announcing the BP 2 and wetting 
everyone's appetites for it and then delaying it.  My plans are at this point 
to buy a stream unless APH gets the BP out pretty soon.

    Hi Donna,
    I would wait for the new Book Port if I were you.  I don't know anything 
about the Victor Stream, but I like the way APH makes software updates 
continually available free of charge.  They are to be commended for such a 
policy.

      Hi All

      Sorry if I've raised an issue which has been discussed before on the 
list.  I have been off the list for some time I'm afraid and so haven't kept up 
with topics.

      Basically, I've heard that there is a new Bookport on the horizon.  Where 
can I find info about this please, and when is it due to hit the market?  The 
reason I'm asking is because of the advent of the Victor Stream which has some 
really nice features.  I can only buy one of these players, and as I love my 
bookport, and use it every day, I don't want to abandon it for a competing 
product unless there is very good reason.  So, I would like to look at what is 
being planned for the new bookport before making any decision.

      If I have posted to the wrong list, or if I have opened a discussion 
which has been had many times before, I sincerely apologise.  It would help me 
a lot if any replies were copied to me personally as well as being sent to the 
list, as my receipt of list email seems very unreliable.

      My email address is

      donna.slater@xxxxxxxxxx

      Many thanks for any help.

      Kind regards

      Donna Slater
