Subject: Re: [victor] The Victor Reader Stream 3 is coming... sooner than you think!?
I step away for an hour and a half to do a StellarTrek webinar with APH, and I come back to over 10 new posts. This. is. AMAZING!
Let me answer the most recent questions!
Bluetooth: it's 4.2. As with everything Bluetooth, compatibility is king, but it should work fairly well with a wide range of devices.
File management: the internal memory is now usable to store content that's downloaded through a computer, so someone without an SD card could still download content and store it locally. Connecting the Stream 3 to your computer uses MTP, which also means that you can keep using the Stream, unlike the Stream 2 where it goes into "Player Connected" mode and can only be used as an SD Card reader.
Flash drives: No, unfortunately, the Stream, because we're using MTP, will not read flash drives or NLS cartridges. However, you could transfer stuff from the cartride/flash drive onto either an SD card or in the internal memory using a computer.
Using a portable power bank like an Anker to recharge: Absolutely, you can. As I type this, my Stream 3 is recharging on my INIU power bank. :)
Stream 2 support: as I mentioned in my original post, we will support the Stream 2 for 3 years after the release of this new device. This means support, repairs, batteries, etc, as long as those components are commercially available to us. We always support our products for 3 years after the last sale is done, which is pretty good, a lot of companies end support much sooner than that.
Wired headphones: absolutely you can use, there's a 3.5mm jack for headphones. And a mic jack as well, separate (we heard all the feedback we received on combining those on the Trek!)
5G wifi: Yes, 5G wifi is supported, along with 2.4.
And to Gil, who read 350 books in 2022: WOW. That's pretty much a book a day. KUDOS!
On that note, as it's almost 8:30pm here in Quebec, I'm going to sign off for the evening, but I'll be back tomorrow to answer questions and hang around!
Thank you all for your interest and enthusiasm, you all made my day!
