After 1.7 years with my Icon, I want to express my appreciation to Levelstar and APH for this wonderful technology. As I was reading my New York Times before getting out of bed this morning, I realized how much information I have at my finger tips. Over 100 feeds bring news, blogs, and podcasts more efficiently than any combination of other RSS reader and podcast receiver , as I learned during an Icon hiatus for a repair. I keep up with two book clubs of avid retiree readers by mining book selections from Bookshare. I handle most email by pop3 from gmail. The web browser is always there to search and read most of the miserably badly design web pages and I often find it easier to go through forms on the Icon than a PC browser. Most of my "music" is a collection of podcasts I save for reference, like magazine clippings. And I mastered the apps and upkeep through those cheerful and informative audio tutorials. As a computing technologist myself, I think the Icon is a spectacular little computer system. That Mark is a remarkable designer!! And getting a product to market is even more astounding in these days of big companies, venture capital, and mass marketing. It's terrific that something so small can change lives in so many ways, certainly mine. Thanks for your great work Mark, Michael, Jenny, Pam, and other support. I send out the above sentiment in my holiday newsletter and wanted to show my appreciation directly.
