Hi Jonathan, it's encokraging to hear and read what zou say, but one update a year is ridiculous compared to sighted people who have at least four or five upgrades to their PDA's per year - as usual PDI is miles behind everyone else. When will you learn to stop making five hundred per cant profit, reduce prices and push out more upgrades?
