Sdk has been promised for year now and never delivered.
Terry Bray Adaptive Technology Analyst -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Flint Million Sent: October 16, 2006 7:13 AM To: Braillenote List Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Real interest in SDK here One more thought on SDK's - has there been any mention on, *if* it was released, if it'd be a free product, or a paid system? I remember Blazie's developer toolkit was for pay, and was in fact quite expensive, which prohibited me from ever experimenting with true C coding for the Braille 'n Speak. I actually would like to release apps I write as free programs, but of course if the SDK ends up being for pay I will end up having to charge for my apps.
