Re: Hims Polaris: Android as a laptop
But here's the thing. With a braille and speech device, particularly one that needs braille and speech constantly, one that needs trusted braille support that doesn't break, the cutting edge code isn't always good. Look at the ups and downs some of these new versions of Android went through. But there are some accessibility problems that you just wouldn't notice because they don't effect speech-only devices as much, but they're there nonetheless. Far more serious issues can happen if those problems were brought into a braille device as well. So, being on the absolute latest version of Android isn't always a good thing. That said though, Android is a developer-friendly os, and they can, especially with Google's help, take some cutting edge code that can be trusted to work, and put it right inside the older version of android. Things like the newest webview support. So, with that said, being on Kitkat isn't all that bad. Do I want t hem to stay on Kitkat forever? No, and they won't. When they believe a major upgrade is warranted, they will take it. @slj, the Braillenote Touch is actually a Google-certified tablet. If you look at the supported devices list on Google you'll see Humanware in the manufacturers.
