Hi all, I talked to hw last week, and they said they would email the list about this, but I never saw the message. So, here's what I found out.
It has been reported that iOS5.1 broke qt support as far as terminal mode is concerned. In fact, this is not the case at all; three separate people on three different iOS device types (all hw employees) have confirmed that qt units do still work with iOS. The hw rep to whom I spoke suggested that the update may have caused the display to stop pairing with the iOS device, requiring the user to manually pair it again (in vo settings > braille). Once that is done, though, things should work as usual. So there you have it, straight from the manufacturer: nothing broke in iOS5.1, just re-pair your qt and all should be well. Interestingly, this rep also said that the backspace and enter keys will never work properly under iOS. This is an Apple limitation, not an hw bug. Apparently, since some displays have only six keys, Apple feels that letting those with eight keys have extra functions (backspace and enter) is not consistent with their goal of having the same user experience across all devices. So, next time you wish the enter key on the apex actually put in a new line or submitted an entry, don't complain to hw, complain to Apple. -- 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.
