HW said that an IM client would be nice and that it was being
looked at, but im programs change their underlying settings
(protocol, ports, that type of thing) so much that hw is worried
that they will not be able to keep up. I think that if they do
make a client, though, that it should be one like Miranda IM or
Universal Messenger that lets the user log into one account and
talk to AIM, MSN, MIRC, and others. Most devices only have MSN
and letting users talk to most messengers instead of just one
would be a big advantage.
Have a great day,
Alex

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

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.
