[gui-talk] Fwd: Yet another new voice recorder from Olympus

[albert griffith]

I've heard the new Book Ports, due out at the end of the Summer, will be 
able to play, Wma protected files, be thinner, rechargeable, and have a 
speaker.  This is more of what I'm looking for.  My public library has this 
list of thousands of downloadable audio books from, Net Library but they 
require a standard MP3 player since they're Windows protected.  I have to 
have someone get the book started, usually.  It's only worth it because 
their books are so new and numerous.  Purchasing the new Book Port will 
solve this problem.
