[nabs-l] DAISY integration for the iPod Nano?

Mon Jan 19 00:05:50 UTC 2009

Is there anything that the IPod can do, besides maybe shuffle and random, 
that the stream cannot? Besides, you cannot record with an IPod. Also, I 
don't remember the capacity of the IPod, but the stream is almost unlimited 
for space, as long as you get a big enough card. With the IPod, what you get 
is what you're stuck with for space.

The iPod nano lacks the control interface to make that really worthwhile,
in my opinion.  The Stream is the device for that function.  As for NLS
titles, there's no way Apple will be allowed to have iTunes support them.
No computer will play them back because of the DRM--that's the NLS policy
on the matter.
