One more thought on SDK's - has there been any mention on, *if* it was released, if it'd be a free product, or a paid system? I remember Blazie's developer toolkit was for pay, and was in fact quite expensive, which prohibited me from ever experimenting with true C coding for the Braille 'n Speak. I actually would like to release apps I write as free programs, but of course if the SDK ends up being for pay I will end up having to charge for my apps.

I'll probably drop an email to the person you named. I do have a few specific ideas for apps. Some of my ideas might be also in the minds of others, but I'm open to competition :) I'm considering some more "real" games (not that Inform is bad, but I'm thinking things like card games and such), as well as some Internet connectivity apps - an IRC chat program would really make me drool. I have actually coded an IRC client for blind people - technically two, since I wrote one, then abandoned it for a second project - so I understand the IRC protocol inside and out. Along with this I'm thinking some simple apps like a unit converter and maybe a basic check register with embossing capabilities. I actually did an experiment or two writing some very basic apps in Inform and compiling them to Z-code - and it works for simple stuff like calculations and so on - but it obviously won't come anywhere near supporting complex apps like an IRC client or a checkbook. A card game might be possible in Inform - it's one of my current test projects. (Although I have to first figure out what happened to my presently dead BN.)
