What we found in response to that process was that the vast majority of people wanted to write games. That's one of the reasons why we introduced support for interactive fiction in version 7. Had the outcome of that process been different, the SDK would have been accorded a higher priority. Many of the people on this list who talk about the SDK don't actually want to write software. That said, we do intend to work progressively on an SDK, firstly by working closely with some of our partners who want to write software for the BrailleNote, and at some future point, making the SDK more wisely available once any kinks have been ironed out.

When things have to be changed to core functions e.g. Media Player and Recorder, and other funcitons, you need to consider that these services are core functions that are supplied by Microsoft on Windows CE. KeySoft is built on top of Windows CE, meaning that it shares (almost shares) same limitations and same platform as Windows CE. 2. While some people hink that Excel is not supported, it is in fact supported on the BrailleNote. This can be achieved by saving the resulting .xls file as .csv (Comma Separated Values). You can copy the csv vile on your BrailleNote and use Import Data feature on the Database Manager, effectively, having almost the same functions as Pocket Excel. 3. In order to implement some external features on the BrailleNote, a key component must be released: Software Development Kit. With this tool, interested programmers can develop high quality programs for BrailleNote family of products, such as File encryption utility, Financial management, etc. I hope that this post is not out of bounds. Thanks for considerations.
