Hi Gary, in this case I haven't answered the posts because there is 
nothing new to say since I answered them on previous occasions.

I appreciate however that people do come and go on the lists. So just to 
recap, there is a common misunderstanding out there beetween Pocket PC and 
Windows CE. Pocket PC is a Windows look-and-feel environment that runs on 
Windows CE. We have never claimed to support Pocket PC. The whole 
philosophy of the BrailleNote is that we give you a powerful suite of 
applications that are designed for the blind and are not graphical in 
nature.

That said, I'm very keen for us to offer a software development kit and 
some of the other functionality some have mentioned. We're actively 
working on improving the BrailleNote all the time, and I'm very pleased to 
say will be expanding our development team significantly this year because 
of the phenomenal success of the BrailleNote. While it would be nice to 
click one's fingers to make wireless access, USB, Bluetooth etc 
materialise out of thin air, sadly that isn't possible. It is important to 
emphasise however that we prefer to focus on the ends and not the means. 
In other words, you can still access the Internet wirelessly with the 
BrailleNote today, and many of us do so with great reliability daily. That 
doesn't in any way detract from the fact that there are practical benefits 
in offering Bluetooth and 802.11B. What counts for most users is the 
extent to which you can be productive and efficient with daily tasks. And 
it's those fundamentals that keep the BrailleNote in its market leading 
position. We intend to stay there by responding to new technologies, and 
we intend to do it in a way that doesn't require you to buy entirely new 
pieces of hardware every six months as this is not realistic for blind 
people. All the best.
