audio guide app in livecode?

[Peter Alcibiades]

There is a company in the UK who supplied audioguides for museums based on an
iPod, and they did this with a special case.  

The problem you have is that maybe you can find an mp3 player with a speaker
(you need to consider disability, and you can't do headphones for hygiene
reasons), but then you have a very stealable item.  So you need either a
really foolproof case or some other way of making them secure.  Asking for a
deposit adds work for the staff, you don't want to get into that, holding
credit cards and so on.  Not manageable.

Curiously enough, the total uselessness of these museum grade handsets with
$5 of electronics in them selling for hundreds is their value.  You can't
play games on them, you can't put music on them.  They are totally useless
except for this one purpose, and so none of them get stolen. 

i will do a post about museum catalogue software packages one of these days. 
You won't know whether to laugh or cry.
