Diane and list, I have changed the subject to reflect what we are discussing here: 1. As I've stated earlier, if my theory on 3rd party software is proven to be correct, then we don't need to worry about WiFi cards. 2. USB device support: it depends on the drivers that it works on. There are many USB drivers on the BrailleNote. When a USB devices connects, it announces itself as a certain device e.g. keyboard, storage device, etc. After determining what to use based on its announcement, BrailleNote tells that device to functioin like a certain device. 3. I don't know what is causing the FM Radio to function incorrectly. Since speech volume is the "master volume," you might want to try increasing the speech volume. 4. Bluetooth: it depends on the kind of Bluetooth driver that is in use. Hopefully, HW will support ObEx (Object Exchange) support to allow exchange of files between two Bluetooth devices.

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.
