10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>It is a wonderful idea to adapt an MP3
device to be switch accessible for any number of reasons education,
communication, recreation), but why the iPod? This is one of the few MP3 devices
that requires proprietary software to use. It’s not like you can
walk up to any computer and transfer files without some issues. I have
had to help a small number of clients and (lord knows, my niece) to troubleshoot
issues with the iPod devices, and many times loss of files is involved. I know
that since this line of devices has received a lot of attention that there are
more options for docking stations, remotes etc,, but I just thought I would
toss it out there to see if anyone is concentrating on other devices that can
be plugged in to most any computer for file transfer, cataloging, playback without
all the hassle iPods require….<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

I already heard early this morning how good the presentation was while I was
talking on the phone with a woman in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Toronto</st1:place></st1:City>.
<br>
<br>
I have phoned Dick and we are going to put a link to the recording on our home
page and leave it there for a while.<br>
<br>
In November we will do 2 presentations about different DAISY players. I
hope then to get someone from NLS to talk about their coming e-text
books. (I am part of their pilot project). Then I may get some
other places to do other follow ups. Probably RFB&D, Bookshare, maybe
<st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">California</st1:place></st1:State>
colleges and if you have others to suggest, that would be good. Be nice
to have a running series for 3-4 months.<br>
