Hi Brandon,
Good news about TNAUK format - thanks.
I'm impressed by the activity on this list and that the BP seems to get
features before the BC.
After mentioning hard drives I had second thoughts that it might impact on
battery life over using flash cards. I think a hard drive machine may work
out cheaper than buying say a 2GB flasu card. It would elliminate the need
for cards. But the 60 hour battery life is a great attraction and it would
not be good to reduce that.
I think adding a radio would cost very little in terms of hardware. Not sure
how much software development would cost though.
Bruce.

hey bruce,
yes. bp does take those files.
also, another point for the bp is the fact that APH are actively doing
betas. daizy format was just implemented for the courier last month, when it
was promised a year or more ago.
that's why i'm willing to pay the few extra dollars for the bp, because the
list is so active, and it seems that APH works hard to squash bugs and
implement suggestments.
as for the hard disk, i don't see that happening any time soon, and it would
drive the price and the size up for the bp. radio, possibly, although this
would also drive the price up, and require hardware modification.
