Hi Mark,

I have no opinion on these devices as I have never heard of them
before......

What I would like to say is, it never fails to amaze me what this group
members have done or are doing....

What talent....

B.

When we designed soundbug it was as a LOW-FI gimmick using a
state-of-the-art technology not previously used outside of the
military/space industry.... Primarily it was designed with kids and their
walkmans in mind but unfortunately the client advertised it as Hi-Fi and
all
the gadget mags slated the performance but loved the idea...

I am not a retailer or the manufacturer so we recieve no commision or
anything else, our job finished at the prototype...Just clearing that up...

It is stacks of fun and as you will find if you get one, well made
indeed...
Using it to enhance the poor speaker quality of a PDA for voice Nav is an
ideal and very practical application of 'Soundbug' sticking it to the bath
isn't but I am intrigued so will try this evening.. :-)))

The Omnivox is indeed better but given the production cost target we were
given thats no surprise... with a ?200 target we would have done a lot
better than the FEOnic (please allow for a little trumpet blowing.. :-)) I
think you'll agree that they are stacks of fun if you buy them in the right
frame of mind..

Enjoy... or don't :-)

According to this: http://reviews.zdnet.co.uk/review/26/1/321.html

 it
seems that sound quality is not brilliant...

I'd be interested to know too.
I'd thought about attaching one or two to the bath for descrete
listening.
I suppose that the water would seriously affect the sound quality (if
there
is any...)
