Re: [Plextalk] Plextalk Linio can now be purchased in the US
Hi Rich, The Linio has a very neat calendar, an alarm feature with five alarms and the option to use custom sounds, and 8 GB of internal memory. Apart from that, it's extremely similar to the PTP1 Pocket. One other difference I can think of is that, I believe, it has a new Podcast function which should make finding and subscribing to podcasts easier than it was before, but I haven't investigated that yet so others might like to comment.

Hi all, Well, according to the Plextalk twitter and facebook, one can now buy the Linio pocket in the states. For those who have the Linio, what are the differences between it and the pocket ptp1? Also, the facebook page says the model from Europe and the US model will have some differences. I have also contacted IRTI to check on pricing. Thanks. Rich Cavallaro

Can you download books from BARD and bookshare directly to it? It's also my understanding it uses Acapela as it's tts. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Bosher Sent: Friday, September 04, 2015 6:22 AM To: Plextalk User Discussion List Subject: Re: [Plextalk] Plextalk Linio can now be purchased in the US Hi Rich, The Linio has a very neat calendar, an alarm feature with five alarms and the option to use custom sounds, and 8 GB of internal memory.

I take it, the Linio will be the replacement for the pocket? -----Original Message----- From: Rich Cavallaro Sent: Friday, September 04, 2015 9:27 AM To: Plextalk User Discussion List Subject: Re: [Plextalk] Plextalk Linio can now be purchased in the US Speaking to two dealers, $359 is the quoted price for the duplex talk.
