Hi, I took a look at this new pocket mobile software. It basically seems like it's something like Window Eyes or Jaws for a pocket pc. But after paying $500.00 for the software and another $300.00 or so for the PDA...Well it just seems to me that even with the sighted person's PDA there are limitations. Carying around a bluetooth keyboard? And yes you can play mp3s and other stuff on it...But I don't know. It might be something neat to play with and check out perhaps. But I think if you're gunna spend almost $900.00 on something like that then I personally would just get a laptalk computer. I can say from experience that being home over the summer and with my computer being packed in a box in the basement for the whole time I missed it. The Braillenote with KeySoft 6.11 and perhaps not even an mPower could replace having my computer. There's things I wanted to do online this summer but could not because of the limitations of KeyWeb. But it's not Humanware's fault. Of course not. It's just
that the braillenotes are not meant to replace my computer. I think what I need is a laptalk to go along with the braillenote. Or voicenote. Besides, I don't know if this mobile speak pocket software will work with any type of gps software yet. And I know that trekker or braillenote gps are the only two options for that. I just think the voicenote is the better option as far as notetakers are concerned. But on the other hand mobile speak pocket is fine for someone on a budget. But that's my own personal opinion.
