I agree with you Alex, that's a very fair point and they should not have
dared to tease us in this way.
I once was present whilst my sister wrapped up her Christmas present to me
and teased me that I couldn't see it, "Haw, haw!". I took it in good part,
knowing she was having fun with me because she knew me so well and we have a
game together; but I don't take too kindly to this kind of teasing from HW.
If they already know what this is and when it's likely to be available then
they truly shouldn't keep us in suspense!

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.
