Hi, However, when intense memory operation is performed, it will crash. The keyboard locking up might be due to keyboard driver thing, as other functions work as expected (mostly scroll wheel). I bet HW knows about this problem... BTW, For Dean: Multilingual support is now free since I believe KeySoft 8.0 (or possibly under 7.5, I don't remember). BrailleNote can "speak" in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. Contracted braille code exists for English and French, while other languages use computer braille. KeyNote Gold can speak in all five languages, while Eloquence can speak in English, French and Spanish. There is a rumor that there is a Korean version of the BrailleNote out there, with a confirmed story that there appears to be some kind of a Korean braille translation table under Apex. As for development, SDK is available for Braille Sense Plus. As of 2010, it is available in its native language - Korean. A notable example is a Bible reference program written by a Korean minister, as well as a "cell cleaner" that turned out to generate excess electrical voltage, hence HIMS does not recommend using it. At this stage (as of KeySoft 9.02), Apex is using old KeySoft layer on top of CE6.0 layer, which means that not all Apex hardware and OS features has been shown. Braille Sense Plus, and hence Braille Sense OnHand, shares some potential under CE5.0, but limitations still linger. Don't ask me about what the limitations are - it is better for other listers to answer this geeky question using simple terms... Cheers, Joseph

I have to disagree. Sometimes the keyboard will stop working for a minute, and sometimes I have problems with web pages (though no more than I had with the mPower) but overall freezes do not seem to happen as often.
