Cindy, Actually, VOIP (Voice over IP; where you can chat using voice) can be supported by Windows CE. But, it uses more RaM and processor power than regular text messaging.

If we are limited to text only that will mean that we will not be able to participate in chat rooms that use voice only. We do need the text option too but it will definitely limit us if it is text only. If a deaf blind person is invited to a chat it would for the most part be assumed that you would need to use tet only. But contacting a hearing person and inviting them to a chat room that is using voice will keep the braillenote user out. While we are all eager to see this implemented as soon as possible, I think we would rather wait until humanware can offer a fully functioning chat client. I know many of us would rather have to wait a little longer to enjoy the stablility of applications that humanware is known for. that is why many of us use a braillenote over the less stable pacmate. Hopefully, HW will consider holding off until they have a full program instead of just trying to get a feature out.
