Dear Josh,
You've written a respectful request. For me, I'm wanting the
Note-taker to grow up and become a PC, especially for browsing
the internet. Perhaps that's impossible with today's BrailleNote
firmware software interfaces. But at the very least, Humanware
tech people owe us the courtesy of a periodic response to our
discussion points and questions.

Subject: [Braillenote] our concerns
?Hello,
My name is Joshua Gregory. I use a BrailleNote Mpower with a 32-
cell braille display running KeySoft 8, build 21. I am writing
this letter on behalf of myself as well as the BrailleNote list.
I, as well as the list, am concerned that if certain features
are not introduced to KeySoft, such as better word support, or an
SDK, that the BrailleNote will no longer be as competitive in the
blindness PDA market as it is today in just a matter of a few
years or so. For instance, the Braille Sense products from HIMS
now have an SDK available for programmers interested in writing
programs for the Braille Sense, with the upcoming 6.0 firmware
release from HIMS. We, as BrailleNote users, do not yet have
this available to us and we would like to see this implemented.
With this, we could write games for the BN, such as uno, and also
write programs that we could all benefit from.
We are also concerned with the absence to response from hw
staff to questions posed on the list. While many people on the
list are able to answer most of the questions posed there, we as
a collective group strongly feel that more communication would be
valuable to feel a company presence on the list.
I strongly hope that this letter will be taken into
consideration to both better the braillenote line of products and
to make us bn users feel a presence from the company on very
critical issues.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Joshua Gregory,
Eleventh Grader at the Maryland School for the Blind
