Dear Kevin,
Thanks so much. I have been sort of wanting instant messaging
and it would be so cool to have it now. Brandan, is the problem
with not being able to read the messages something wrong with the
system or the BrailleNote? If it is something wrong with the E
buddy system could you let them know so that they can try to fix
it? Please let me know. I will be on the list until August 25th.
From,
Bobby

Hello all BrailleNote and VoiceNote Users,
Are you are looking for a solution in the short term that will
allow for you
to use your favorite instant messaging program, whether that is
AIM, Yahoo
or MSN Messenger until some form of KeyChat is released? Well,
the solution
is here, it is called eBuddy; at the moment it is still under
Beta Testing,
but it is publically available. So, there may be some bugs, but
they are
more than open for suggestions or levels of improvements.
Purpose of eBuddy:
To allow people to use their favorite instant messaging programs
anywhere
and everywhere It is available as a mobile version (mobile
version is meant
for cell phones or commercial PDAs) or as a web based version.
eBuddy
provides instant messaging on any device that has an internet
connection, it
will even work if you are behind a firewall. eBuddy means no
downloads, no
installation of software or upgrades and no registration. Best
of all it's
free.
Where can you get eBuddy?
You can sign up at the following website: http://www.ebuddy.com/
