Hello. Supporting the Office 2007 docx format is on the wish list for the future firmware release.

speaking of support, now that the booksense support docx, does that mean the sense notetakers will support it verry soon? i hope so.

Do PDA's for the sighted support these formats? I ask because I distinctly detect the wish upon the part of some to make the BS Plus more than it is intended to be.

what matters to me is that yourselves and himms seem responsive to customer 
concerns and feedback which is extremely valuable. I await the day when
docx, pdf, excel, and powerpoint can be supported on the BS

Cheers

I forgot a couple more.

BN does not have an LCD screen and BSP does.
BN does not have a CF card slot and BSP does.
I don't think BN has a key lock switch and BSP does.


On a slightly different note, I've read many comments elsewhere on the
net and in Twitter that some users feel that Humanware is going to
ignore the Mpower users now that the Apex is out and how the cost of
$6195 is really bad for the new BN Apex. What strikes me funny is that
the same comments exactly were being said about us when we announced the Braille Sense Plus. people were upset that they could not trade in their 
original Braille Sense which they've had for several years and people
were upset over the price. It just goes to show that no company can ever 
please anyone all the time.

ar BN is 1.8 pounds and BSP is 2.0 pounds.
ar BN is thinner than BSP.
ar BN has 4 usb ports and BSP has 2 usb ports.

ar That's really about it. Everything else which the new BN has is the same 
ar as the BSP.

ar Many thanks.

Trust me, it won't be Humanware! People are still waiting for
SDK there!
I'll be surprised if otherwise!

Well, that's what I thought of (that GWM will directly compete
with HW now
that Apex is here). Now the question is, "who will be the first
company to
release SDK for their respective products?" The release of this crucial thing will determine who wins in the end (wait till early next year...)

Hello all!
I see that the competition finally came up to the real world with the 
announcement of their new notetaker the Apex! Based on what I
have seen,
I'm still loyal to GW Micro. I think the Braille Sense Plus
and Voice Sense
have better support and one can't beat the streaming audio available to 
them. I think one can turn it on and write something down more
quickly as
well! The Keysoft is still being used in the competition
product! If the
Braille Sense Plus can be kept slightly under $6,000, I think
GW Micro has
the market!

Thanks to Don Bishop, he gave me a site to listen to XM Radio
on my VS. It
works great! One must have an online account with XM radio.
If you have
that, go to:
http://mobile.musicdock.com
Simply log in with your XM info and you are good to go. Look
for link you
wish to listen to, press enter and you will hear your content! The find 
command is your best friend.
