Hi, The title of that teaser was, "Speaking of Design." I bet it's something more than an adapter - maybe something we do have a cousin of... In other words, the child, or a variant of something we do have already perhaps... Cheers, Joseph

I guess there will be diverse responses to this...

As with the Apex marketing campaign last fall, it is only images! I sent the following email to hw support and I will let you know if I receive an answer, and what they say. Hello, I just received an email about a new HW product. However, as a blind person, it told me nothing except that the device is thin (though I am not sure how thin, or in reference to what - a thin computer tower is thick compared to a PDA, but not compared to a larger computer tower). What does the image in the teaser email contain? As with your Apex teasers, you are sending BLIND customers PICTURES, and not describing anything!! I thought we (the users) had made it clear in the Apex campaign that this strategy does NOT work and is quite frustrating to us, the people to whom you are hoping to sell this mystery device. At least tell us what the picture contains! Why is this so difficult, to describe a picture to an audience you know cannot see it? If nothing else, could we, the users, please have an explanation as to just what you hope to accomplish by doing this? Our only recourse is to enlist the help of a sighted person, even though Humanware is supposed to be all about empowering their customers and making them independent! I apologize if this message is somewhat harsh, but this marketing practice is, in this blind user's opinion, in very poor taste and not in the least effective. -- Have a great day, Alex (msg sent from GMail website) [email protected]; http://www.facebook.com/mehgcap ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender.
