[stylist] New Victor Stream

[David Andrews]

There will be future capabilities that use the wifi on the 
Stream.  The DAISY Consortium has written specifications and designed 
refrence implementations which would allow you to browse a library's 
collection and download books directly to your player.  There has 
been some use in Europe and Asia I think, and we are likely to see 
development in the u.s. in the future.
