HI Rob, Yes, I still remember those threads about hardware suggestions, and here's what HumanWare pointed out: * WiFi card: HW said that they are interested in having internal WiFi conponents (listen to the Second BrailleNtoe Chat and you'll understand why). * 802.11N: It is still in acceptance stage as of now, but requires CE upgradce. * Spreadsheet: I think the best possibility would be to add support for xls or pxl files in KeyBase. * IM client: I know that thread about KeyChat was around for some time now (I forgot what HW said about this one). That's all. Che3ers, Joseph
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rob Lambert Sent: Sunday, November 25, 2007 12:16 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Braillenote] Curious about innovations I was just wondering. Things like the FM radio and Eloquence, were those requested or not? Sometimes i've seen (in general) companies create things no one has asked for. I'd much rather like to see a spreadsheet in place of the FM radio, and like someone on here suggested (my apologies for not being able to remember your name), Eloquence should be removed or the hardware should be upgraded (in my opinion overhauled). The reason I bring this up is because I really am starting to wonder about HumanWare's devotion to the BrailleNote. Understand that I am NOT trying to knock anyone. I understand whole heartedly that these things take time (programming stuff), but I'm not sure if a removable battery has been suggested on the list or not (if it has, it obviously hasn't happened yet). Many notetakers (the Voice Sense & Braille Sense by GW Micro, and the Icon & Braille Plus by LevelStar, for example) have removable batteries and I haven't heard any complaints. Also an IM client I remember has been suggested and has generated considerable interest, this was before KeySoft 7.5, I was wondering if that's going to come to pass or not. If someone could reassure me here (about any of these items) I'd very highly appreciate it. Thanks in advance. --------------------------------- Be a better pen pal.
