According to an ATIA presentation abstract obtained by Blind Bargains, the forthcoming Book Port Plus will include numerous navigation improvements and recording enhancements over the Plextalk Pocket. According to the abstract, "One of the biggest complaints about most DTB players, especially from elderly
users, was the confusion caused by having to select a navigation type before using
the navigation keys. One could never just press a key to perform a navigation function." Navigation elements are discussed, including functions for several of the buttons and the lack of an on/off control. An emphasis is placed on the recording capabilities of the device, which is understandable considering their partnership with Shinano Kenshi Co. We'll have much more to say about these new developments in the digital talking book player arena and also live coverage from Orlando in January.
