Hi Ray
Ok that is great, I think the stream mark 2 is sufficient for most of us. If it was discontinued it would mean us looking elsewhere for something but I think personally I'd have to go a long way to find something as useful in my view as my stream.

Yes Adrian, HumanWare haven't retired the Stream but kept it on as a cheaper alternative to the Trek.

Hi Ray
Ok I have not seen a treck so have not been following any of the traffic on
it on various lists. With the treck was that the end of the vr stream mark 2
or can we still get the mark 2? I myself wouldn't benefit from the treck, I
wouldn't want to pay the price for it. I wouldn't use the features it
offers.

Hi again List.
Clive's comment about sticking with the VRS2 is interesting as I think
someone else has said that here too. I won't of course get the full value
of my VR Trek until I do learn to use the orientation application. That
said, I will say that the Trek is a good deal faster than its predecessor.
It boots more quickly; downloads of podcast are speedier. I think firmware
downloads are snappier too if the recent update to give us UK post codes and
Audible support is anything to go by.
I do have one problem I'll start another thread to describe, namely, the
problem of switching between National BBC streams in the UK playlist. I
venture to ask though before I attempt to describe the problem whether
anyone else with a Trek is having a problem here.
No doubt list traffic will be busier when we have the FM radio app going in
the next update.
I wonder where Humanware will take the Trek in future, (or do I mean
"going forward" as is often said now! Could other app funtions be
incorporated? Ability to stream podcasts as well as download them?
Access to the BBC iPlayer - (although accessing your BBC account could
be a stumpling block here.)Alarms, Count down timer?
Well, all that possibly for another thread like Trek wish list.
Ray.
