Personally, I like the Trekker. It runs on a Dell PDA, which is very
small, and can be clipped to a belt, or carried in a fanny pack,
shouldar bag, etc. The briefcase I use for work has a front pocket
that is the ideal size for the PDA. The PDA, bluetooth receiver, and
external speaker can be attached to a shoulder strap that comes with
the unit, or can be worn separately, clipped to a collar, coat
pocket, belt, etc. Also, if you prefer, you could substitute an
earphone for the external speaker. For an extra $200, you can add
the maestro suite of aplications, which includes a DAISY book reader,
voice recorder, contact list, calendar, MP3 player, and wireless
Email. The next version is supposed to contain a web browser. All
applications are totally accessible with Eloquence speech.
