It is a two-sided sword: say it and the
competition can do what
you say or better, but keep quiet and
start to slip behind and
people do not know that you have
something better than the
competition in the works so they buy the
competition, but then
because they spent the money they do not
want to turn around and
buy your product even if it is better.
Besides, gwm announced
the bsp a few months before its slated
release, just like hw did
for the mpower. I would love to know
what is coming up in ks8
and if the UNSUBSTANTIATED rumors of a
motherboard upgrade have
any merrit at all, but I also see what
hw is doing and figure
that if they lose sales it is the fault
of their pr department
so, basically, too bad for them. They
will make up their losses
if they come out with something really
amazing, like bsp hardware
the size of a pk or something. That
would get my attention in a
big way!
Have a great day,
Alex

Hi Joseph and List:
Joseph, I disagree wholeheartedly. GW
Micro has come out with
the announcement that the BrailleSense
Plus will have built-in
wireless, along with 8-Gig flash memory.
That's pretty awesome.
I feel we should know what we can expect
if we stay loyal to
HumanWare.
Living in the Present One day at a
time, This is enough. Do
not look back and grieve over the past.
For it is gone. And do
not be troubled about the future. For
it has not yet come. Live
in the present, and make it so
beautiful. That it will be worth
remembering.

Subject: re: [Braillenote] Version 8 of
Keysoft?
Hi John and list,
I have something to comment regarding
this and other similar
threads. But before I do this, here is
the short answer: we
don't know. According to history,
HumanWare has mentioned the
feature set of new upgrades towards the
release time in order to
thwart competition.
Here are some comments regarding this
whole thread:
Throughout the history of the list, it
had a dradition of some
people posting the same question: "what
will be included in the
next upgrade?" We have repeatedly said,
"we don't know; HumanWare
will release it in the end," but some
people have iggored this.
Also, after answering this question,
someone would say, "then why
don't HumanWare just release it and be
done with it?" Again, the
answer was, "HumanWare, like other
companies, fear that other
companies would try to mimic
BrailleNote's features." - which did
happen and vice versa (I'm talking about
Bookshare unpack tool
and other such features.). More than
one person has answered
this question, but the question keeps
coming back to "haunt" the
list, producing a negative atmosphere
where some people have sold
their BrailleNotes to get better
products from other companies;
you might have noticed that about two to
three (and sometimes
four) people have sold their BrailleNote
to migrate to a
competetor's product, as it happened
with one of the sellers
(I've seen this person over at a
competetor's list before).
So here's my opinion about this whole
situation here: if more
than one person gave the answer, then it
is the answer. Brian
repeatedly said that HumanWare does not
discuss new features
until the product is about to be
released; so did Kevin, Alex,
myself and others. Since at least three
people agree here, I
think it could be treated as an
"official" answer, meaning two
things: first, there's no point to
discuss this further (once a
problem has been solved, there's no need
to report about it
anymore (unless it is a faulty equipment
or software)); second,
if this kind of question (even if it is
caused by curiosity) is
repeatedly asked, then the users would
feel that HumanWare is
somewhat secretive (sorry for using this
term here) - in other
words, the users would think that
HumanWare is not listening when
in fact HW staff is carefully listening
to suggestions,
complaints and comments from users
(creating a false negative
environment).
These are my comments about all these
"new features" threads that
has been circulating on this list for a
while. If you have
something to say, please write to me off
list (use my Blind Sea
account).
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: [Braillenote] Version 8 of
Keysoft?
Hi,
I have been off of this list for a
while. I know there was
mention of Keysoft version 8 at CSUN
being released sometime
later this year. Have there been any
details released about what
features and enhancements it will have?
John
