Re: [Swprograms] OT: Future of Digital Radio
Fair point, David, but what I was thinking about was hardware, support, etc. not
software in the case of Apple. You may be able to think of other (better)
examples. Pure Digital is a "closed" system and I am not aware that I could
offer a competing directory provider accessible by the radio, but I could be
wrong. Does anyone know?
