Hi,
One difficulty HW would probably have had was that they would not
have been allowed to disclose the information concerning
bookshare.
In a similar way, Alex was only able to disseminate the
information last Thursday.
Regards,
Steve.

Subject: [Braillenote] Bookshare Site Changes
I cannot imagine that bookshare would release a new site that the
digital
players wouldn't support upon release. If that's not the case,
then a lot
of explaining will be in order. I also would hope that HW will
release a
patch that all BN users can benefit from. If not, then people
with classic
units will have every reason to scream loud and often. AS has
been pointed
out, an announcement in advance from HW could have avoided all of
this
speculation and no doubt list traffic. But for what it'sd worth,
they are
not the only company who hasn't announced their plans. I've yet
to see
anything from Freedom Scientific or Levelstar, (PacMate and Icon)
about
their plans either.
Les

I agree with you mostly, however maybe hw will release a patch
for the
classic so bookshare would work. the MPOwer and pk would get 8
while the
classic would get maybe a build change or something.

hi list.
I'm not a user of bookshare because i don't live in the US.
Here's something for you to think about:
Perhaps hw have been waiting for this issue to come up so that
they
can include the update in ks8,0. This could explain why hw are
taking
so long to release ks8,0 and could also explain why they have
been
forced to keep quiet about why ks8,0 is late.
Now you maybe wondering: "Why did hw put fall 2008 on the
website as
the scheduled release date?" Well, perhaps hw weren't originally
aware
of the changes when they first published the date on the
website.
They should really remove that date from the website (if it
hasn't
been removed already).
This could also be a problem for bn classic users. Ks7,5 was
the last
release for the classic. I heard a braillenote chat podcast and
they
were discussing a possible patch for the classic to do with word
document support. But it didn't look like hw were planning on
or
going to release a patch for that. Which means that they are
not very
likely to release another patch to fix the bookshare problem.
Hw has been forced to release ks7,5 at least 4 times due to the
number
of bugs. They are not likely to release another one so close to
the
expected release of ks8,0. they would rather wait and include
any update
in ks8,0.
This is just my thoughts. What do you think?
Thanks.
