I find it interesting that Mosen said the opposite after he joined Human ware and was touting the BrailleNote M-Power, a little more than a year ago. Now, he is with Freedom scientific, and he is saying that off the shelf access is the way to go. My, how money can change ones opinion. From, The Mosen Explosion (Blog) Thursday, August 31, 2006 "Technology is advancing at a frenetic pace these days. If blind people want to be competitive, they need access to the latest connectivity, productivity and functionality at the same time as their sighted peers. No matter how dedicated and brilliant, a small team working on a proprietary platform must inevitably be unable to keep up with the pace of innovation being advanced by Microsoft and thousands of dedicated third party developers. It can be demoralising when you're a part of that team, being asked for very legitimate and needed features, only to realise that resource constraints mean that only a fraction of those requests can be implemented. It's therefore imperative that we as blind people have the absolute best access to mainstream applications"...
