I would like to add that It would be good if the bn supported
flash player. I have found that many sites are not accessible on
the bn because you need flash player to use them. Also, an sdk
would be good so that people outside of hw can make programs for
the bn. Just some ideas for people who will be going to the
conference.

Subject: [Braillenote] more braillenote feedback suggestions
Ok, here's a quick list off the top of my head. Considering the
bn is sucha
lackluster product, I could undoubtedly think of many more given
time:
1: tables and footnotes in documents need to be made far more
accessible
2: language support: writing in multiple languages is a chore,
reading in
them in anything but the word processor is almost impossible
3: Imap support, better syncing with outlook contacts and the
ability to
import CSV contact files or some other format of contacts.
Keymail must be
made far more intuitive and less clunky, this must include the
reading of
html e-mail natively.
4: the reading of secured pdfs
5: updating the internet explorer engine to something less
prehistoric
6: the use of more IM protocols and the upgrade to the XMPP
protocol in use,
so that facebook, msn, ETC, can be made useable from keychat, as
no one uses
google talk.
7: the ability to read Excel spreadsheets.
8: a twitter client along the lines of the one the braille sense
clients
have would not go amiss.
9: better compatibility with windows 7 64 bit and windows 7 in
general for
networking, syncing ETC.
10: .docx support!
I can personally attest to every problem on this list and also I
know quite
a few people who would quite happily use an apex if it fixed some
of these
issues. I think humanware does not realize how offputting these
defects are
to a large number of young, technically-able users who are
choosing hims or
a mainstream solution. Outside of England, the use of Braille
note's in
Europe is very low because of the language support issue, for
example.
Anyway, just my 2p worth,
MJ
