Prediction: Likely to succeed

Only one thing made me think twice about predicting success for this project: It's a technology item targeted toward an older demographic. Experience has taught me to be cautious in these instances, no matter how simple the product may be to use.

Other than that, I like this one a lot. It solves a problem for the right demographic for DR, and it presents an excellent value with 25 hours of audio for $19.99. The commercial also nails all of the right usage occasions, as one would expect from the producer who brought us such well-crafted hits as Listen Up and Loud 'N Clear. All in all, a solid offering with good odds of success.
