Subject: RE: [Braillenote] question about the apex and internet
Hi Richard,
Ah, thanks for confirming our suspicions... I think it all comes
down to not
the speed of things, but mostly because of how keySoft runs
internally.
Right now keysoft.exe and iexplore.exe (the IE engine) runs
slower than
expected because we are working with redefined mPower's
keysoft.exe code on
top of new operating system layer. This is also the reason why
there are
"frustrations" that Apex resembles that of an mPower, and much
talks of
compatibility issues between old data and newer software (I
think). Also, I
believe the software stack is not taking advantage of some of the
vast
hardware resources of an Apex - certaintly 256 MB of RAM is
better than that
of mPower and CPU speed is on par with most of the high-end cell
phones of
today (including mine). I hope there would be speed improvements
before end
of this year when the supposed KeySoft 9.1.0 is announced and
released.
Cheers,
Joseph P.S. Just my opinions - I think Alex would have better
info on this.

Subject: RE: [Braillenote] question about the apex and internet
Joseph, Alex, or anyone with some technical knowledge, I have
seen messages
from several of you since the release of the Apex Braille Note
about the
slow speeds of parsing web pages when compared to the mPower
units. Have any
of you found a work around to speeding this up? I find using the
same
favorites as I used on my Voice Note mPower are so slow on my
Apex as to be
worthless. These are not complex large pages for the most part
but my mPower
can load them in a few seconds but the Apex takes a minimum of 45
seconds to
a minute or two in some cases using my broad band service through
the
ethernet port. I can not test it with wi-fi because my router is
configured
for WPA-2, which I don't believe the Apex can handle. Once a
page is loaded,
it can take just as long again to reload after I press on a link
that pulls
up another page and so on. If there is no work around, I sure
hope Humanware
gets it in gear to fix this issue soon. I still use my mPower
much more
frequently than my Apex due to this problem, as well as some
other issues I
have already reported to Humanware.

Hi,
That's almost right. Yes, it would work with anywhere there is
Internet
coverage. However, your friend needs to set up so-called
Connection
Configuration to use a particular connection method e.g.
Ethernet,
Wi-Fi, etc.
Cheers,
Joseph
