#csun10: Sendero GPS Coming to Two New Platforms
We wish we knew more, but we are stuck with a one-line teaser about more device support for the Sendero GPS software package. Sendero will debut their software for two new platforms at CSUN in Sandiego, according to this company post on the GPS-Talkusers mailing list. We're not sure if this message refers to an upgraded platform like the Braillenote Apex or something entirely new like support for Symbian phones or the iPhone. Nevertheless, we'll report more as we learn about it.

#atia2010 Leftovers: Pac Mate, Duxbury, More
Here's a few remaining notes from this year's ATIA coverage which weren't covered elsewhere. First, according to Freedom Scientific's Jonathan Mosen, development is continuing on the Pac Mate Omni, despite rumors to the contrary. A new major update is forecast for the coming months, though little detail was given on functionality. Serotek launched a Hotspot version of their Accessible Event service. Where we see use in this is in a presentation which includes Powerpoints or other media. Users with a computer could log on to the appliance, essentially a souped up router, and follow along on the Powerpoint right along with the presenter. It's potentially groundbreaking for businesses. Duxbury will have a major update to their popular braille translator this summer. Included are support for newer Microsoft Office documents including Excel as well as new options for printing tables. I love the idea of being able to print a table in its original form, even if it would stretch across multiple braille pages. KNFB Reading Technology had a prototype for a portable stand for the KNFB Reader. No decision has been made on future plans for this stand though the company is actively soliciting feedback.

SuperCook Makes Searching for Recipes by Ingredient a Snap
We've seen a few websites offer a way to search recipes by ingredient, but none as simple and intuitive as SuperCook. Start by typing in just the name of one ingredient, perhaps something you're trying to use up before it goes bad. Then, you will be presented with a list of other ingredients that you can add. For instance, I search for spinach and then it asked me if I had eggs, milk, cheese, and other staples. As I selected the link for each ingredient, the site updated the list of possible recipes I could make. It will show both recipes that can be made with the ingredients on hand, but also recipes that require only one or two other ingredients. You can click on an existing ingredient to limit your search to recipes which must include that item. It uses multiple recipe sites as sources, so there are plenty of options to choose from. The site is largely accessible, though some refreshing of your screen reader's browser buffer may be required after adding new ingredients.

Olympus Announces New Accessible Recorders with Text-to-speech, Drastic Cut in Battery Life
Olympus has recently announced the forthcoming availability of two new devices in its DM line of portable recorders. The DM-2 and DM-4 include many of the same features as the popular DM-420 and DM-520 models, with the DM-4 including several accessibility improvements. The latter model will include text-to-speech capabilities for reading filenames, dates, and keywords as well as .txt files. In addition, voice recognition for performing common tasks and support for DAISY books is included in this model. Both models will include Olympus's familiar voice-guided menus and support for MicroSD memory cards. The DM-2 includes 4GB of built-in memory while the DM-4 includes 8GB. Unfortunately, the battery life is advertised as much less than the prior models, rated at 20 hours of use compared with 51 on the DM-520. Street prices for the two models are listed as $249 and $299 respectively, though they will certainly be available for less through online retailers. The estimated release date is June 2010, and we'll post deals on these models as the release nears.

I have become increasingly frustrated with the lack of reception on my FM radio.

With this in mind, I picked up the Sony XDRF1HD HD Radio Tuner for $79.99, shipped free from Amazon.com. The reviews lauded the unit's selectivity and reception, and I must say I'm generally pleased so far. Read on to see my initial thoughts. Read more
