hI, jOSEPH!
tHINKING OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, HERE.
1. WIFI card support: the Ambicom and the Sandisk Wifi cards are
no longer made according to emails I've read. People need to have
more cards supported by the KeySoft upgrades. Whether it's SD
cards, or CompactFlash cards, we need more cards accessible for
use on the BrailleNote Family of products.
2. Hardware device support: More devices such as hard drives,
floppy drives, thumb drives, card readers, keyboards, printers,
and other items that will expand the horizon of the BrailleNote
Family of products. It could be just the difference between
machines, but it seems like there are a lot of machines that
don't seem to work with different items such as the Mini Cruzer
harddrives, some thumb drives, wireless cards, headsets
(bluetooth), printers (newer models, not ones made several years
ago), floppy drives (other than the superdisk disk drive), and
other items mentioned on this list.
3. FM radio volume: The volume for the radio is very soft and is
unable to be heard in a room with other noises going on.
Admittedly, I have not tried it with an earphone, or headset,
being as there are times I want to hear the radio while working
in our Call Center at 911. However, even with digital hearing
aids that can bring softer sounds up to a more agreeable level
for listening, I still cannot hear the radio unless I am in an
extremely quiet room with no sounds going at all (i.e.: air
system sounds coming on or off, refrigerator humming, traffic
noise with windows closed.) I have the radio set to its highest
setting.
4. Bluetooth support: It seems to me from the emails I've read,
that more support should be given to bluetooth support. I have
only seen maybe one or two items supported by this. And, it seems
that when these items are used, it takes quite a while to get it
to work. I'm probably missing something here, and I apologiz if I
am, but can somnething be done to make hooking up to bluetooth
more easily done? I am very curious about this means of using
things and would like to explore this option further when I can
afford more things that will benefit me at work, or at home.
These are the things that come to my mind from reading the
messages here on the List as well as going out and seeing all the
different devices that are on the shelves nowadays. For instance,
I went to find one of the Western Digital harddrives one day just
before my mPower arrived and found about four, or five, different
harddrives being sold. Maybe its just a matter of drivers for
these products being installed on the BrailleNote Family, but can
something be done to make this happen? Also, most of the printers
that can be used with the BrailleNote are the older model
printers that are extremely hard to find. It would be nice to be
able to walk into someplace and be able to pick up a printer
without thinking that we'll probably have to bring it back due to
it not working with our units.
I must say, though, we have come a long way from where we were
just three years ago with all the different off-the-shelf items
we can now use with our units. Humanware has done a supurb job of
giving people what they would like to have. And, I'm sure that
it's just beginning to get better with all this stuff we all seem
to want. So thanks, Humanware, for really listening to us speak
to you about matters like this.

Subject: [Braillenote] List of suggestions and bugs in KeyMail
Dear list,
Although KeyMail received many functionalities in KeySoft 7.2, it
still has
a lot of bugs and suggestions that will help improve KeyMail.
This is the
current list submitted by users of Braillenote family of
products. Any
further additions will be greatly appreciated.
1. HTML email support: this is the issue that is frequently
brought up on
the list. Many email clients (includings those designed for
Windows CE
devices) support HTML emails. Many of us on the list has asked
for HTML
email support on KeyMail.
2. Cursor index broken in KeyMail: the cursor marker/index which
keeps a
running track on the current cursor location is apparently broken
in
KeyMail. This is evident when reading a message using KeyMail.
When you
switch from an aplication like KeyWord back to KeyMail, the
cursor will then
be located on the top instead of the current position.
3. Email markers does not work: as someone pointed out, when you
mark an
email for further action, and then when you switch to an
application and
switch back, the markers will be removed. Also, there is no way
of
displaying whether that particular email is marked or not like
File Manager.
4. IMAP access support: again, this is the issue that is
frequently
presented to the users. Currently, there is no way of accessing
IMAP
(Internet Mail Access Protocol) accounts on KeyMail. KeyMail only
supports
POP (Post Office Protocol). A growing number of email providers
today use
IMAP as means of access.
5. SSL implementations support: A number of email providers
require that the
users use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) in order to access their
email accounts
e.g. Gmail requires this. A surprising fact is that Windows CE's
email code
actually supports SSL. Although the option of using alternative
POP and
SMTP ports has been implemented in KeySoft 7.0, the exclusion of
SSL support
in KeyMail plays negative factor when choosing email providers.
Thanks for your considerations.
