I didn't, I am one of the peple trialling it.
There are problems though.
The trial is limited and it does not currently allow the user to control any
content. rather it is just a range of options including Internet Radio,
Talking Books and Newspapers/Magazines. I think I can say this openly
enough as no one from RNIB has asked me to sign any kind of disclosure
agreement.
The idea is that the box automatically links to a server where your content
for download is configured and put into a menu. It has potential and it
could I think be controlled by the user through a web interface or by
ringing someone to do it for you.
Currently there are only about 5 radio stations in the trial and a small
range of magazines and books. Daisy navigation is possible but it is slow.
a command when reading a daisy book takes about 3 seconds before it is acted
on and multiple commands do not work well e.g. press forward 3 times to skip
3 chapters.
Also, the user needs to get a broadband connection set up and pay for this
on a per month basis so if the user does not use a computer anyway it is not
a sheap option though the idea is basically good and the product definitely
has potential. It is definitely worth trialing and working with.
