well, I still think amongst all its querks and bugs, the braillenote is
still the best notetaker.
I would really anticipate that this move is for the better.

You can get braille support for most cell phones with the Handy Tech
braille displays. I've got the Motorola Q and MobileSpeak SmartPhone and
I could upgrade the software and buy an HT display, but I can't see myself
typing extensively using the cell phone. The word processing capabilities
are probably very limited.
Remember that MobileSpeak Pocket is sold by HW, so if you chose to go that
route you'll be putting more money into HW's pockets.

For those who don't need a braille display, smart phone or pocket PC is
the way to go.

I completely agree with your stance and sentiments. On 26 Jan 2008, at

Well, while I am sorry for the people who lost their jobs, I'm going
to take a wait and see attitude here. It would be great if the change
improved the hardware and software development environment for these
Humanware note takers. I can say that I was less than impressed with
the last several software upgrades due to lots of bugs I thought
should have been caught in beta. If the change allows a better
development team approach to get out less buggy updates and future
hardware improvements like user replaceable batteries, etc., then I am
all for the change. I would also like to see a built in ethernet port
and wifi connectivity in the next hardware update so we don't find
ourselves out of luck trying to find discontinued external supported
cards to give us these functions. If, on the other hand, things get
worse, then we all know where the exit door is. Having said that
though, I have to tell you that I have used several note taker devices
from different manufacturers and found none of them even close to
perfect. I keep thinking that given enough time, they will be able to
give us a solid reliable product that doesn't eat our files or corrupt
our data bases at the worst possible times but nobody has hit that
target yet, in my opinion. Maybe part of the problem is Windows CE
itself. I just don't know but keep hoping for my dream machine to some
day arrive bug free. Now, back to reality!
