I am not saying that they are doing a poor job of manufacturing or supporting their products. My problem is with their marketing department, which seems to think that pictures are the most effective way to get blind people interested in a product, and cannot even be bothered to put a detailed description of the image in the email. I understand that the image did not show much of anything, but even an explicit statement to that effect would have been fine. Instead, they said that the picture reveals details of this sleek and thin device, or something similar, suggesting to all those who cannot see the image (in other words, most every user of one of their blindness products) that the image held something interesting that would help to describe the mystery device, if only in a small way.
