Well, now that i have my Booksense, I find myself using the PTX1 less and this even with the SD card and USB capability. Of course (and this brings us back to Infotech), we knew about the navigation issues thanks to Brian's in depth review of the Plextalk Pocket. This unfortunately seems to be the Plextalk navigation standard.

Hi Ian, I agree the number of folk completing the survey was disappointing,especially as they would have known they were part of the focus group. I'm also surprised the PTX1 is now being issued to new subscribers, but I guessthis is often the case, a 'pilot' machine is quickly adopted before the issues have been ironed out. I was interested in the numbers who had reverted to their previous players, one of my friends who did this, did sobecause of the poor navigation. He tells me it's a real pleasure going back to the Plextalk. I've been thinking about this too, I was just waiting forthe survey results. The question is, can I live without the SD card...

I also think it was a mistake to remove the function of going back to the beginning of a title. Nothing was made of the fact that the pagefuction is virtually useless without some way of entering the page number.Of course, it is singularly unfortunate that the player was issued with what turned out to be faulty batteries and that the replacement batteries were also faulty. However, I still think that many of the lokup problems with the PTX1 have nothing to do with the battery. I am also disappointed that only about half the people issued with the PTX1 filled in the survey.

I'm verydisappointed more was not made of the terrible rewind function. With theprevious Plextalk player issued by Talking Books, The player would rewind, with the chattering voices, if you held down the key, or step back in 1 or ten minute chunks in the 'Time' option. With the PTX1, you have to hold down the key and hear, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes etc. Is there anyone who actually thinks this is an improvement?Try going back 15 minutes, to when you set the Sleep timer. A nightmare!Regards, KelvinNo virus found in this outgoing message.
