Wireless Headsets ...

Repost from Agora ...

EDIGlong ... Did he say ...

"museums" ??

Q - Will the headset be used in Disneyland and other Disneyland attractions?

A - As the product proves successful we expect that it will be used at other Disney locations around the world as well as other venues. For example museums and others are interested in this product where people today have to carry around a cassette recorder or CD player incorporating this tye of system where people have the ability to just put on a headset. and be able to hear in not only in English but their own languages what the attractions are what a painting is or details of a particular sculpture and the details about it

... and from the new website ...

Wireless Communications Solutions include personal information devices for use within theme parks, museums, national parks. Each headset boasts MP3 file storage and playback, embedded flash memory, time sensitive auto-synch and more

I know we`re talking PDAs here, but ...

The CD-ROM GALLERY GUIDE ® by Antenna Audio composed by a CD player and headphones, offers to a visitor the access to consistent commentaries on more than 350 works of art and interesting informations about the history of the main rooms and sections of the Museums, by selecting on the player the number corresponding to a work of art or a section, visibly exposed along the tour. GALLERY GUIDE ® is available in six languages: Italian,, English, French, German and Japanese [looks like they forgot one]. The rental of one audio guide costs € 5,50.

Anyway, just suggesting that museums could be a real possibility, and that HP could be our connection ... Hewlett-Packard is now included under list of "Clients/Partners" along with Softeq.

Here`s hoping !!
