No, NLS books will not play on I devices, at least not at this time.  Learning 
Ally and Bookshare do have apps for iDevices though.

Yeah, but the iDevices don't do NLS books do they?

My eldest daughter wants a new iTouch for her birthday. Maybe I will get her
one with VO, and then we will see. At least I wouldn't be able to grump
about not being able to distinguish buttons <g>.

You know I never even thought of that.  Shows how much more up on that you
are than I am LOL I always am upset that I am excited to get a new book
reader and am already out all that money and it is basically a paper wait
until you jump through their hoops.  This is why the iPhone, for me, is so
refreshing.  I can buy one, and use it just as soon as it is placed in to my
hands.  Just like everyone else.woo hoo!!!

Okay, then I won't be that upset that it's taken two days now and will be at
least two more before I have it activated. What is irritating is that they
send the first request off to your library to verify you are authorized.
Never mind that you couldn't submit the app in the first place without being
authorized through your library. Would be a whole lot better if you could
give the serial number on the spot and get the key at that time. Or at
worse, have that forwarded to the library for fulfillment. It ought to even
be possible to ship the devices with the key already on them then do a PGP
type exchange with your library to authenticate them.

It really shouldn't take that long, and yes it is like that for all players.

Are all the player activations as convoluted as that for the BookSense? This
is going to take days (already has), first request activation on BARD,
E-mail is sent to Wolfner to verify I am an authorized user, then E-mail
from them to manufacturer, and finally manufacture contacts me for still
more info. If this is the way it is for all players, then so be it. It is
still convoluted and too many unnecessary steps, but if this isn't how it
works for all players, then BookSense needs to get their sh_t together.
