[Electronics-talk] Important message to avoid being taken advantage of

[Laz Mesa]

The below is a response from a customer who paid $75 for a
misrepresented product.  He gave me permission to send it to other
lists in order to protect anyone else from falling for this con job.
Here is this gentleman's reaction to the player and the company
selling it.

Hello, Everybody,

You may have heard about a rather small player called "Tiny Tunes."
It claims to have an excellent TTS engine, which means that it will
read textfiles.  It plays various audio formats.   The instructions
tell us that it will read folder names.  Navigation is accoplished
with a minimum number of controls.  Its 75 dollar price sounds great!

I strongly suggest that you do not obtain one.  The speech is some of
the worst I have heard in my 30 years of computer use.  I was not able
to receive any FM stations on its radio.  I could write a long
treatise on what this unit should do as opposed to what it really
does, but I won't.  Suffice it to say that navigation and response are
erratic.  When a few folders are loaded on to the device, it will
likely quit responding, leading to running down its battery.

I truly dislike writing negative things, but I have to do so in this case.

If you go to the Braille Super Store website, be sure to look for the
company's return policy.  Among many unbblievable things, you'll read
that none of its products are warrantied.  It gets worse from there.
