No radio for me please! Radio's can be gotten in a lot of places, but
where else will you find a device like the Book Port? The other thing
is that unlike many specially made devices for people who are blind, the
Book Port is reasonably priced for what you get. Adding extras which
can be gotten easily elsewhere, will only cause the price to increase.
Just my thoughts.

The chip cost is absolutely the least consideration. The added circuitry
and code to enable tuning, etc., is what adds cost and complexity. This
is a bad idea whose time has passed.=20

Jim, that being the case, I'd vote for the radio.

:I haven't been following the conversation. But let me say now days
radios=20 for mp3 players come ona single chip the size of your thumb
nail. That's it=20 a single chip. These chips purchased in quanity cost
$5. So the BookPort's=20 engineers could easily fit a FM radio into the
BookPort. From what I could=20 see neigther size nor cost should be a
factor.
