hi;
i have to now agree with the previous message after i've thought
about it a bit more, i think i would just fork out the other $400
for a laptop that is more powerful, now if you could turn this into
a clone of the iphone with a qwerty keypad and or touch screen and
voiceover on it, then we, could talk!

Hi,
Jacob,
Just to let you know, the driveing force is completely compliant
with Apple's Licence, so I would be allowed to sell the product
legally. The main feature is the size, which make it fit inside a
pocket quite easily. Another advantage is the built-in Braille
display. Yes, we plan for a mini Querty Keyborad once the Braille
input is out on the main stream.
Thanks for listening,

Depends. You going to offer a qwerty version? I absolutely hate
braille input.
Getting more serious though, this would be considered a Mac clone,
and would need to be authorized by Apple. Yes, you can get OS X
running on your own PCs. But you are not allowed to sell such a
thing, at least not according to Apple's licensing. This is being
questioned as I write this in the United States Courts, but don't
expect an answer any time soon--this will be one long court battle
between Apple and another company called Psystar at least assuming
they don't settle out of court. I wouldn't get my hopes up, the
company with the most and best lawyers usually wins these battles
here.
Would I buy it? Unless there were significant advantages in doing
so I would not, but would buy a Mac laptop instead. Such
advantages might be a much longer battery life, for example which
would certainly be possible due to the lack of a screen. To be
honest though I'm a bit biased, in all cases I refuse to buy
blindness products when a mainstream product is available that
will accomplish the same functions. Since I don't care for braille
input I would probably go straight for a laptop unless, as I said,
there were compelling advantages to such a device.
I don't think you would be able to keep that name for it, however.
