Apple's Spring Loaded Event, Braille Displays, and Amazon Echo

Episode 377,   Apr 27, 2021, 12:00 PM

It's Tuesday, it's 1pm, that means only one thing...Tech Talk!

Steven, Robin and Tim are all here to talk about the smorgasbord of new colourful products from Apple... yep, sorry haters, of course we're talking about the Spring Loaded Event, including the new iMac, and AirTags, and improvements to Apple TV. What do the team make of the news; underwhelmed, overwhelmed?

There is more to talk about, as ever - Ben Rendle is here from RNIB's Technology For Life team to tell us how he uses the Amazon Echo in his home, we're also joined by Paul Bepey to hear about Braille Displays, including the ElBraille.

As Steven mentioned in the show, next week we have not one, but TWO Tech Talks... you lucky people! You can tune in to RNIB Connect Radio on Bank Holiday Monday at 5PM to hear show one of our email specials, and then the second will be in our usual timeslot on a Tuesday. If you only listen via podcasts, no need to panic - both shows will drop one after the other on Tuesday at 1pm.

You still have time to get your emails in for those shows - but be quick! Want to air your opinion on the Apple event? What to talk about the latest tech product in your life? Have you purchased the new RNIB Digital Radio we talked about last week? All subjects will be covered! TechTalk@rnib.org.uk, and Andy will add them to the list for next week.

Until then!
