SDK stands for software development kit, which provide tools and
documentation to help developers write software. Hope that helps.

Hi Andy, Just to set the record straight on this one, last year, on this
list and other relevant lists, we called for people who would actually
be
interested in writing software for the BrailleNote to contact us, so we
could ask questions about their needs. 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.

RE: [BrailleNote] External software and BN
I have owned a BN for 6 years, and an SDK has been discussed just about
the whole time, and we are still waiting.

Dear list members,
I have some opinions on external software and BrailleNote.
1. 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.
