Thought here is to use one of the small mp3 devices, such as the iPod Shuffle, to store software documentation in an audio format.

iPod Shuffle

My shuffle holds approx 8 hours of audio in 512Mb memory (£69). Another version is available with 1Gb memory for £99. Similar audio players are available from other manufacturers with varying amounts of memory.

I’m using it to listen to podcasts (see details elsewhere), my current favourite music collection and as a language learning tool.

Can also be used to store audio versions of books etc. and raw data files although I don’t think this latter capability will used much by me …

So I got to thinking whether there is any mileage in recording software documentation in an audio format?

Could also be used a a marketing tool - store up to 512Mb of useful data related to the software - for £69, or cheaper, per seat.
