I can't answer about playing daisy books on it. With having a specialized player, I can't see buying the apps for my ipod touch. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Hodgson Sent: Friday, May 25, 2012 9:27 AM To: Plextalk User Discussion List Subject: [Plextalk] iPhone/iPod touch Hi, Yes, the iPod Touch is a lot more suted to playing music, it lasts a lot longer.
