Well pat there is hope then. Gw micro will add touch. They have to. Then windows pro will be coming soon to a phone near you. It has to. Microsoft has two choices at this point. Get in to the phone with pro where there are real advantages or go and become big blue and do b to b. pc sells will hit rock bottom this year and Microsoft knows it. look at what acer and del are doing right now. They know it to and they are scrambleing to get in to the mobile world in a new way. Microsoft has no plans to upgraid windows phone so they have to do something. It will be windows pro on a phone and windows rt on a phone. We of course will want windows pro. Then we will have window-eyes with touch support and all that great keyboard support from windows on our phones using the Bluetooth keyboard. Best of both worlds if you ask me. More and more windows apps will become accessable the new laws will force Microsoft to push for this and you won't be living in the walled garden that is IOS and you will have choices on what access tech you use unlike on Iphone or android. As you know I have been quite vocal on android accessability not that it is bad it is ok. It needs a lot of help though. The nice thing about a windows pro phone is this. you don't have to choose between android and windows. Just run them dool boot and have them both. It will be all about choice. Bring it on I say.

The touch screen jestures for the Android were not that great. I sent the tablet back. It was a lesson learned. No tablets for me with out a keyboard. I do think the IOS is better on the Jestures, however. I know someone who has a Windows Tablet running Window-Eyes with a keyboard. I wouldn't mind that. Thanks much.
