I am not Jonathan or Dean, but I couldn't agree with you more. I
am deeply involved in the Civil Air Patrol, a search and rescue
organization of the United States Air Force, and I design the
website for my local squadron. FTP would be much easier to do on
my BN as opposed to the PC. I only replied to this because if HW
sees more interest, maybe it will prompt a faster response (not
to say that they do a bad job anyway; they do great).
An SDK would also be an incredible thing: instant messenger,
metric converter, FTP, maybe even enhanced sound control like
bass/treble adjustability could be possible without taking HW's
time away from the rest of their mission.

Subject: [Braillenote] new features question
Hello Jonathan or Dean,
Don't know what the technical difficulties are but would it be
feasible to
add FTP capabilities to KeySoft on any or all of the note takers
in some
future release? I purchased some software on a web site
yesterday and the
VoiceNote mPower got me through the whole shopping process
without a
hitch. Once the purchase was complete, the site gave me an URL
where I
could download my registered software package. Unfortunately,
the
VoiceNote ran out of gass there. I figured later that it must
have been
an ftp link so had to sign off and get the package with my
regular
computer. I'm quite pleased with my upgrade to the VN mPower
and, so far,
the KeySoft 7.0 release is working very well. I wish you could
have added
more battery capacity to the mPower though. I am definitely
seeing far
less run time between charges than with my previous VoiceNote.
Finally, there was some discussion of maybe adding some kind of
SDK to the
note takers to allow outside software developers to jump in and
give us
programs like happened with the old Blazie line. Might it be
possible to
at least open things up a little bit with a basic like
interpreter
environment without having to deal with compilers? I remember
using the
old Apple II line for years and wrote some really useful programs
just
using AppleSoft and Integer basic. The up side of that was that
if I
found some program I mostly liked already written, I could modify
it to do
just what I wanted and used the many open source programs to
learn lots
more about programming than I could get out of a book.
Is this dream land or what?
