Hi,
Even if the first teaser was an image, we were able to figure out the
majority of Apex's features last time when HW did post a feature list as
an
image. With sighted help, somebody managed to send to us the text that was
part of an image, which helped us in finding out (with almost great
accuracy) what the next product was. If you remember this trend from last
November, coupled with the statement that HW will be releasing more things
like this, I expect a textual image will come out within the next few
days,
if there will be one...
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: Re: [Braillenote] In defence of hw
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.

Hi all:
I want to comment on the most recent posts about this mystery device that
Hw
is now presumably manufacturing.
I want you to think about where you would be today, had you not ever
heard
of the braillenote, and never heard in your life of Humanware. For me,
anyrate, I would be goodness only knows where, probably failing to keep
up
with my increasing level of note-taking and editing that is required of
me.
True, the computer helps with emails, checking with internet newspapers
etc,
but you cannot carry a computer in one hand or over your shoulder,
unfortunately. This, thereupon, is where my thoughts are based.
You also need to know that if Humanware is manufacturing this product for
us, then, assuming it gets smoothly up off the ground, and tests the way
it
should, we, the customer, will be presented with the opertunity, and a
detailed analysis of this product before the rest of the blind world,
because we are connected, by way of this list and external email to Hw
staff
members. We cannot slaneder Hw like you have been. We have to respect the
fact that what will come. I now remind you of a song by a very famous
writer. The line I will focus your attention to is:
What will be will be. The future is not ours to see.
EXACTLY!
Regards,
Blake.
