Yes, in hindsight, springs would have been the way to go.

It is too late to change this for this iteration of the hardware, but
rest assured that the next version of the hardware will not have those
kinds of connectors.

I agree with having springs in the battery compartment.

  I have managed to send a daisy title to the book port.  The transfer
software seems to convert the daisy title in to a single file and then
send the file to the cf card in the book port.  If all the conversion
process is done with the transfer software and the bookport is only
acting as a card reader since it seems to be usb 1 and not usb 2 why
can't we have an option in the book port transfer to allow me to put the
card in my usb 2 card reader and send the information to the cf card at
usb 2 speeds instead of usb 1.  All we would require in the software
would be a check box to say send the output to drive x instead of the
book port.

  Also can we have a minimize option so we can do something else while
the software is transfering the data.

  If they made the belt clip removeable they could have made a small
external speaker that clipped on to where the belt clip had been.  It
could be done with out any wires if the clip on mechanism was designed
properly so it made contact as part of the attachment process.  I am not
saying the quality in a small speaker would be great but there are times
when it would be of use.  

  I whish the battery compartment had springs at the - end instead of
the type of connectors they use at the moment.  I do not think these
bent pieces of metal will last as long as springs and haveing different
connectors would assist users to tell the correct battery orientation.

  The ear buds have no tactile markings to let the user right from
left.



  What do other people think?
