Comments on: Listen to Content from Audible.com with Upcoming Springboard

Audible, Inc. and Card Access, Inc. are collaborating on the development of Audible Advisor, a SpringBoard to play the more than 26,000 hours of audio content available for download from Audible.com. The batteryless Springboard will allow users to access all of Audible's spoken audio programming. Content will be downloaded and transferred to the Visor during HotSync. It is expected to be available during the first quarter of 2001 for about $120. After rebates for subscribing to Audible's service, it will be available for less than $20.

 Why not use low bit rates

why this spring board and also audiolib are not using low bit rates compression at about 3kbs so they can save time in downloding and increase the number of stored hours.

 Springboard Coming Around

I run an upgraded Palm V and have been waiting around for a Vc, however, with more and more 3rd party developers designing such b***hing springboard expansions I may well go with the new color Visor!!!
