Something New!

Check this out! I was just at Borders a little bit ago, and I stumbled on this new gadget. New things always amaze me, and this one deffinatly does that! I bet I could listen to one of these things during study hall, and possibly get away with it. I used to listen to tapes before. The summer was always the best time for that. And I have rented audio books on cd as well, and I still prefer tapes over cds. But using this new device would mean no scratches, and it will always work. It does take AA batteries, but that isn't a big deal. The prices aren't to overwelming either. Most were $40-$50. Which is about the same as a lot of the audio books. I don't see how people could rent these from the library in the future, but I guess you never know. The bad part is is that you have to keep buying the same stuff. You can't just buy one set, and then switch off from different books. That was the big problem for me. This item is much similar to having an audio book on an ipod. Although, this thing has many advantages to it I don't know how well it will sell. http://www.playawaydigital.com/whatisit/index_flash.aspx
