[Dtb-talk] anyone going to buy the new Stream?

[Mike Freeman]

I rather agree with you. The Acapela text-to-speech voices would be nice and
a smaller physical footprint would be nice. However, at present, I see
little advantage for wifi except possibly for people who aren't geeks and
are waiting for somewhat automatic download of NLS and Bookshare books. But
I'm perfectly satisfied with my current stream and probably won't upgrade
until it breaks.

Subject: [Dtb-talk] anyone going to buy the new Stream?

I received an e-mail from Humanware a couple of weeks ago regardning the new
Stream. I e-mailed them and asked if they would have a trade-in program of
older Streams like they do with the BrailleNote. I was told no on the
trade-in, which makes sense because the BrailleNote is over $5,000 and
average folks can't afford to buy the latest greatest thing sometimes
whereas the Stream is nothing costwise in comparison.
 
I love my Stream and it works fine and I figure that I can just update the
software on it as needs be and don't really need the use of wifi. I was
wondering what other Stream users think about the new Stream--pros and cons.
 
Thanks.
 
Mike
