It was very interesting. I >have a few suggestions for PulseData to think about. These suggestions are in >no particular order. >1. Detachable braille display: >This, not only means that you can plug in the braille display to other devices >such as a PC, but if either the braille display or the computer component >of the BN broke down, you could send just that part of the device back to be >fixed, and you wouldn't be without a note taking device. >2. 40 cell braille display: >Are there any plans to bring out 40 cell BNs? For example, I am a music >student, and braille music depends heavily on a 40 cell line. I find it >extremely >cumbersome to have to account for an 8 cell discrepancy. >3. One-handed mode: >It is quite difficult to find any information in the manual on BN's one-handed >mode. My right hand is paralysed, but one of the main reasons why I chose >BN over other note taking devices is because I can actually reach most key >strokes with just my left hand in 2 handed mode. However, I find it very >humourous >to find that the key stroke for one-handed is holding down backspace while >turning thee unit on, which of course I can reach, while to put BN back into >2 handed mode is holding down enter while turning on the unit, which of course >I can't reach. One of the other reasons why I don't use one-handed mode >is because you have to press enter after every key stroke to finish it. There >should however be a modification made, where the key stroke registers after >every second key stroke so enter does not need to be pressed at all. This >would cut down on the amount of key strokes overall. >4. USB port: >When is PDI going to introduce a USB port to the BN? >5. Automatic ActiveSync. >6. Battery: >When is PDI going to introduce a battery pack that does not overcharge the >battery? >7. MSN messenger. >8. Third party applications. >9. A remote control for devices like DVD,TV, video, CDs, etc. >Sorry if this email is a bit long. >Thanks. >Ross, and guide dog Qesta. >___ >To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit >http://list.pulsedata.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
