Hi,
In order for an app store to work, there must be some components
present in the actual unit, the company and developers. From the
unit, it requires a menu/program management system to add and
remove these apps easily (the installation procedure is already
in place and some of us have figured out how to mimic this
process; what's missing is a simple way to remove the extensions
without sacrificing user settings). From the company's point of
view, there needs to be an SDK (as some people pointed out).
From the programmers' perspective, the program must meet a number
of design requirements, such as conforming to KeySoft interface
and tested to ensure quality assurance..
As of now, even with an SDK for HIMS products, there's no formal
"app store" introduced by HIMS International. As of now, there's
no "real" way of managing program usage and entry from Braille
Sense itself (in Korean builds, there is so-called "menu manager"
that facilitates this). Personally, I think in order for HIMS to
really start an app store project, more programmers should
produce external programs for Braille Sense, which could justify
adding menu management system to English ROM images (version 6.0
does not include this). What we have now is that HIMS is willing
to offer same model as what they did with GPS product from HW -
offer the SDK to interested developers with the development party
writing high-quality software (I'll write more on this on the
HIMS list).
I'm willing to write a few things for Braille Sense and
BrailleNote products, starting with some card games and helping
some PAC Mate programmers with porting their products over to
KeySoft and HIMS devices.
Cheers,
Joseph

Hi,
I think so too. And now, there's sdk for the braille sense
products.

Hey,
Actually I somewhat agree with you. I like the Apex because of
Keysoft, and how easy the user interface is, but actually, the
apex has always seemed concidderably slower than my More Power.
I got one for chrismas, and just like you, I was kind of
dissapointed when I saw the slow and sluggish keyweb, although
tast ben fixed in KS 9.1, but you have to recet the thing so
much
more than you do wea? the More Power. I was very disapointed
that they didn't add word 2007 and 2010 support, although the
Braille display thing is actually pretty cool. I pair it up to
my Ipod touch via blutetooth, and I can do everything from my
Apex.
However, no offense, I seriously think the BRAILLE Sense Plus
and
the On Hand beats the BN and packmate both.
After all, what other notetaker has a built in twitter cliant?
Huh? I must say though, the apex has opened up doors for me,
especially the VGA support. Now, with me being a middle school
student, a teacher can look over my shoulder and view what I'm
doing in real time.
Also, the built in wifi saves me a card to keep track of.
Hey, I kind of wish they'd add someding like a keysoft app store
called keyapps where you could go and buy apps designed for
keysoft. I actually think the apex has that potential.
Just some thoughts.
Will

I have been rather disappointed with the Apex, given the
potential it isn't fulfilling.
I have also an impression that a number of people have either
had
their Apex replaced or sent in for repair.
Is it fair to ask people to respond to this?
Joseph, Olivia and myself are 3 I'm certain have had this happen
to them.
Peter
