Hi Alex,
Don't worry - I believe it's on topic as well - given the tense
atmosphere around CSUN time, I expect comparisons to come out by
end of this week (another PDA updates for the PBWorks site
then)...
If this new firmware from HIMS includes SDK, then HW lost.
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: [Braillenote] update to Braille Sense expected
Hi all,
Just FYI. The Apex brought the bn family way ahead in the
never-ending race for note-taking supremacy... but now, HIMS has
just made an announcement that may cause their Braille Sense line
to pull ahead. Perhaps the Apex will still be faster and have
the new CE6, but this announcement will provide real features
that users can actually experience, not intangibles like "well,
it should be faster and have more possibilities".
The announcement is vague at this point, but it says the version
6 of the Sense firmware will include new features: a Twitter
application, EPUB support, and PDF reading. We have EPUB in 9.1,
but PDF reading is a long-sought feature which Humanware has, for
no apparent reason, left out. Twitter is not useful for
everyone, but it is one more way to plug into the social
networking tools that are now so popular.
Yes, this is somewhat off-topic, but I wanted to let people know
so that, if nothing else, we can put the pressure on hw to give
us pdf support, at least. After all, they don't want to fall
behind, right?
Have a great day,
Alex (msg sent from BrailleNote
