Thanks,

I will have to check out the Nokia 770. It may be possible to put some Text to Speech app on it.

The new zp80 looks like a minit xp100 and lacks the amp but adds digital ouput and prob a few other things.

I'll have to try slimserver/softsqueeze and the 770 skin on my PC to see what I can get working and if it all goes well I might give the sb3/nokia770 a try.
