[gui-talk] Fwd: HumanWare Launches Victor Reader Stream CD Edition

[Brian Blair]

So I'm curious if anyone has heard whether the NLS digital talking books can 
be read with a Victor Reader Stream or any other third party player, or must 
we use the NLS digital player?  The NLS player isn't bad I don't think, but 
it is a bit bulky compared to the Stream, and I think it would be nice since 
the NLS cartridges are essentially USB flash drives if they could be read by 
the Stream, or by an App on Iphone or Android.
