Hi Chad and list,
There was a great discussion about it a few
months ago (if you want, I'll give you the
link for the archive that contains this Skype
thread that we've discussed).
Cheers,
Joseph

My understanding is that Skype is not
currently available on the
BrailleNote. A possible jab to Humanware is
that it is available on the PAC
Mate in a Pocket PC version, revising the
age-old debate of an open
mainstream platform versus a closed,
proprietary one in the form of Keysoft.
Ironic that one of the BN's greatest
strengths is also its potential
Achilles heel, but I digress.
In fairness, however, I've had mixed results
in using Skype on a Pocket PC.
In my experience, its intuitiveness on the
Pocket PC platform is much less
than on a desktop or laptop, where you can
just tab to the edit field, type
in a Skype name or phone number, and hit
Enter to call. I don't know if
this is wishful thinking on the part of an
end user, but I would see the
ability to use a service like Skype on the
BrailleNote as quite useful.
It may be possible to "chat" using a
web-based chat room, although of course
it's not the same as voice communication.
Regards,
Chad

Hi y'all.
Does anyone know if you can use things like
skipe with the braillenote, or
if any kinds of chatting options currently
work with it?
Thanks, Louise.
