Andy, you have articulated the situationin a great fashion. People do have choices. At 09:42 AM 7/14/2005, you wrote:
I have owned a Braillenote for 5 years, and it is obvious to me that
Humanware, like any maker of  any product, has a design philosophy behind
their product.  This philosophy as pertains to the Braillenote has been
articulated many times over the years in many different forums.  The
Braillenote was not designed to resemble a sighted person's PDA.  The
Braillenote was designed as a product for the blind, and was designed to
have a blind friendly interface.  Many people like this concept, and this is
why they have chozen to purchase the Braillenote.  If you look at the
history of developments for the Braillenote over the years, it is obvious
that they have been driven to a large degree by customer input.  However,
any development of the product would have to stay within the framework of
the design philosophy.  There comes a point where you, as a manufacturer,
have to say that if one does not like the design philosophy of the product
in question, the marketplace provides alternatives, one of which might
better meet your needs.  It is not the job of Ford to make their car look
and feel like a Chevy.  It is a Ford, and if you don't like Fords, well,
maybe you would find a Chevy, dodge, Honda, etc. more suited to your needs.

Andy
