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 ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
