Hi the list, For those interested in the Kapten by Kapsys that we were talking about recently, it will be available from Amazon sometime very soon! I have ordered mine from Widget.co.uk but they really only take orders from businesses and only made an exception for me. Plus, they are probably the more expensive option as they charged just shy of 30 pounds sterling to send it. So, if anyone is interested, I would wait for Amazon. In the meanwhile, however, if you go to www.kapsys.com choose the “support” link (having first opted for the English version unless you are good with the Francais) there is a section of frequently asked questions which describes many of the workings of the device and will give a reasonable impression of how to do things and, in so doing, shows how there are many ways to operate the thing, some using the lights for info, but others just using voice or the hardware function keys. It also seems to work with mobile phones as a hands free way of taking and placing calls, plus, using your contacts to give you gps directions. However, I haven’yt looked into which phones it will work with yet. Buying it from Widget, including vat and shipping, I paid 210 Sterling, the basic unit is only 160 or thereabouts, so I am sure there is a cheaper way to do it. All the best, Sandy. ==========================================================The vicsireland mailing list To unsubscribe at any time send a mail to: vicsireland-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe", without the quotes in the subject of the message.
