 Yes, you can now monitor your recording by using a pair of headphones, or the speaker.

>>> Tracy this sounds neat, but I still have my original stream and I have never had a problem with it.  I like the updates they have given it but some of those I think could have just been in a software update like just incorporate the soft pack into the standard update so it could play mp3 content and simly have one of the keys have a new function of the clock. I like that it is smaller but not enough to go buy another one.  Thanks for the review though.

So far though, it seems like the wireless can only be used to get updates from Humanware.  I'm hoping they will build in more uses for it.  It would be nice to download directly to the Stream from Newsline, Bookshare or NLS, I think.  And the blurb on the Humanware website talks about using it for Internet radio, which would be neat.  But none of that seems to be happening yet.
