I too don't have a victor stream, and don't plan to get one, since I'm still quite happy with my booksense XT. I probably wouldn't have one of those either, if I wasn't able to get it at a significant discount when GW Micro was getting rid of their demo units a few years ago. As for the BARD ap on Android, someone on the eyes-free list said they were planning to release it in the Fall, but I'll believe it when I can download and use it on my phone.
