I'm also excited about it, but probably won't jump on it until
they have the
WMA with DRM support in place. On the other hand, the built-in
speaker, usb
2.0, and the thinner flat design might be a little difficult to
pass up.

I think a lot of people are disappointed with the Book Port 2
because
they're seeing the present and not looking into the future. The
BP2 is about
potential, not instant gratification. I'm excited about it.

Well, after hearing last night's show, maybe I'm glad I got it
now.
Since
the BP 1 is already a well-designed machine, it sounds like the
2
isn't really going to be that much better. Suzanne

I'm not so down. Am disapointed they won't have overdrive at
first.
Will
wait till they do; otherwise it's too much like what I already
have.
Consolation for Suzanne.
I'm staying openminded on the batteries. The speach isn't a big
issue.
I
may still prefer external speakers, but it will be nice not to
have to
mess with headphones when I want to check something quick.
I was a lot more impressed with the icon braille than I had
expected.
Let's all wait till the real thing comes out and some of the
bugs are
worked out before becoming supercritics.

Well, I listened to main minue last night on a c b radio and
I was
singularly disappointed. We will still have that same old
speech
program and, really not much more. Yes a stereo mike and the
ability
to change the recording settings but, I herd nothing about a
line in
jack.
The charging set up will be different but I really don't see
that as
an
improvement. With book port one you can get some rechargeable
double
ayes and just change them when you need to. With the new one
you half
to by a proprietary battery from the printing house or leave
your
computer on while the unit charges. Yes one can plug it in to
an a c
outlet but, if your in an airport that is out of the question.
Did I get the wrong impression or is the new one upgradeable
just
like the old one or what.
Think I will just limp along with my old one and wait for
book port
three.
