The last time this was offered, it raised a huge stink on the
BN list. However, for those who might want to take advantage,
this is the reality of competition.

Trade in HumanWare Notetakers with Freedom Scientific's Open Plan
Trade in any proprietary HumanWare notetaker and get the
features you want today with Freedom Scientific's PAC Mate
Omni (St. Petersburg, Florida - May 13, 2008) Freedom
Scientific's Open Plan, announced today, will help blind
users of VoiceNote, BrailleNote, mPower, and BrailleNote PK
notetakers upgrade to an open platform that uses the familiar
WindowsR interface and runs mainstream applications.
Until October 31, 2008, users in the United States and Canada
can trade in one of the aforementioned HumanWare products and
save more than 50 percent on a PAC Mate OmniT accessible
Pocket PC. Purchase prices after trade-in are:
a.. PAC Mate Omni BX400 and QX400 speech-only units: $995
b.. PAC Mate Omni BX420 and QX420 20-cell braille units: $1,795
c.. PAC Mate Omni BX440 and QX440 40-cell braille units:
$2,545 Those taking advantage of the Open Plan will be able
to choose from more onboard applications, read from more
braille cells, and access mainstream applications and
peripherals. Students learn the Windows operating system as
they use the PAC Mate Omni, knowledge they will draw from for
the rest of their lives.
PAC Mate Omni users can communicate via Windows LiveT
messaging, synchronize with their Microsoft OutlookR e-mail
inbox, calendar, tasks, and notes, balance their checkbook,
and manage spreadsheets. The PAC Mate Omni supports Office
2007, including access to PowerPointR presentations.
BrailleNote owners are still waiting to get in touch with
those features. While they wait, PAC Mate Omni users are
working with a host of other features BrailleNote doesn't
have. Features like bar code scanners that identify and
describe many common household items, support for all Word
documents, SkypeT Internet telephony, reference materials
like encyclopedias, dictionaries, and recipe databases,
virtual private network access, and support for a broad range
of network cards and other peripherals.
"Since I became a PAC Mate user, I've used numerous exciting
features that the closed nature of the BrailleNote prevented
me from being able to deliver to customers when I managed
that product," said Jonathan Mosen, formerly of HumanWare,
now Vice President of Blindness Hardware Product Management
for Freedom Scientific's Blind/Low Vision Group. "My PAC Mate
Omni has become an essential tool for me. Not only am I more
productive on the job because of features like the full
synchronization and VPN support, but it's my accessible
remote control for all our appliances that use a remote."
Mosen also said he likes how the PAC Mate Omni gives him such
a vast selection of entertainment options and supports all
common streaming media formats.
"A closed platform can't possibly keep up with all of the
innovation being unleashed by Microsoft and the many
third-party developers that write software for Pocket PC
devices. I have no doubt that once BrailleNote and VoiceNote
users get their hands on a PAC Mate Omni, they'll be amazed
at the world of possibilities on offer," Mosen said. "I can
even do high quality audio recordings on it!"
