Hi all, sorry I couldn't attend the chat tonight, but I'm glad it all
went well. I look forward to hearing all about it.

Hi folks,
Today's chat went very well - extremely
productive. We had eight people on the chat
(including one person who chimed in through
Skype). There was no pause between
questions, answers and comments.
So what did we discuss? Here is a list of
what we talk about on this chat:
* Hardware comments - somewhat larger PK with
support for USB host and other memory
enhancements.
* Windows CE 6 - people commented that this
year would be a good opportunity to move onto
CE 6 to stay ahead.
* Possible new motherboard - inclusion of
hardware such as more Flash, built-in WiFi
and other capabilities.
* Foreign language - translation issues,
possibility of creating new language tables,
entering characters in another language and
so forth.
* File Management - possibility of "porting"
features that were present on file operations
to folders, including marking, copying,
moving, erasing, renaming and protecting
folders, plus the ability to zip and unzip
files and folders.
* Password protection - possibility of
protecting one's BrailleNote (the unit
itself) via password, putting passwords on
folders to deny access to unauthorized users
and so on.
* Inclusion of PowerPoint - what would it
mean, how to describe graphics, how
BrailleNote might deal with slide transition
effects and so on.
* Word Processor - possibility of creating
tables and working with images via textual
description.
* Email - a shortcut to reply and forward
within the message itself, email rules,
possibility of sending and receiving email at
a predefined intervals and notification of
email operations (sending and receiving
messages) in other programs such as KeyWord.
* Internet - possible support for "mailto"
tag so that one can send email messages
directly from the website without having to
search for the email address from the source
HTML code.
* Misc programs - streamlined menus e.g.
Internet menu for Email and Internet and so
forth using categories, comments on
BrailleNote's efficiency and so forth.
* Software development - status on SDK,
possibility of inclusion of Java Virtual
Machine (JVM) so that Java programs can run,
ability for KeySoft to multitask - write a
document while surfing the web and receive
email notifications simultaneously.
* Other queries - questions on BrailleNote in
other languages such as Korean and Turkish,
how to become a beta tester, supported
wireless cards and universal commands for all
apps.
I guess that gives you a picture of what we
discussed today. Many people say that it was
productive - sure it was fun and productive.
In the meantime, the recording of this two
hour chat will be uploaded to Blind Geek Zone
page as usual within the next couple days.
Cheers,
Joseph
