Hi folks,
I'm somewhat surprised about this powerful development... enough
to rival the "newer guy." Well, as for BSP upgrade, HIMS is bound
to announce it (in Korean, I hope later this week).
If there are additional information in Korean, I'll translate it
and let you know.
Cheers,
Joseph P.S. Based on specs, BS QWERTY would be voice-only
version of BSQ.

i've not bought one yet, am toying with the apex as i think it's
more robust but waiting to see what the april upgrade holds too!

This is truly a disappointment. When I purchased my
BrailleSense Plus in January of '09, I was *assured that an
update would be coming out within the year that would address
many of the BSP's shortcomings. Frankly, this was the only
reason I kept the unit, as I found the software to be lacking in
many very basic features. It's been nearly a year and three
months, and there is *nothing announced for the BSP. You can
count on the fact that I will be sharing my negative impressions
of GWMicro and Hims, every time I get the chance. Given the
seeming lack of interest in further development of the
BrailleSense products, I will actively discourage anyone I can
from purchasing this product.

It�셲 another exciting year for GW Micro at CSUN 2010. We
have many exciting things to unveil to you beginning with the
brand new BookSense DS.
BookSense DS
www.gwmicro.com/booksense/ds
The BookSense DS is the first and only book player to have a
display, and not just any type of display, an OLED display.
Cutting edge technology meets assistive technology with the
BookSense DS. While looking like a standard MP3 player, it is
capable of everything you have come to know and love from the
BookSense, including the ability to play NLS, RFB&D, MP3, music
from iTunes (MP4), Word 2003 and 2007 document, DAISY books, and
more. The BookSense DS also boasts 4 GB of built-in memory,
along with an SD card slot that accepts high-capacity memory
cards. The built-in accessible FM radio even receives reception
from radio stations without the need for headphones. On the
front of the unit, the keys have spaces between them making
finding each key simple for customers who may lack feeling in
their fingers.
The OLED display is fantastic for the classroom or students
who have learning difficulties. Teachers can use the display to
see what the students are doing, or to see what the BookSense is
saying. Students with learning difficulties will be able to
follow along on the screen when reading an accessible DAISY
textbook or a document to help reinforce the material. Students
will be able to see and hear the textbooks, and they can even
adjust the rate of how fast they read to make reading fun and
easy.
Voice Sense QWERTY
www.gwmicro.com/voice_sense/qwerty
At long last, this is the Voice Sense that so many of our
customers have been asking for. The Voice Sense QWERTY combines
the latest technology of the Braille Sense Plus with the small
footprint of the Voice Sense. Weighing in at less than one
pound, the Voice Sense QWERTY is the only notetaker to offer a
built-in GPS receiver and a digital compass to make it simple to
navigate around your home or to find your way to the train
station, restaurant, grocery store, or practically any other
location.
Teachers and students will enjoy the new support for
accessible DAISY textbooks using the NIMAS format. You can also
read Microsoft Word 2003 and 2007 documents, along with numerous
other formats. Carrying on the tradition of the other Sense
notetakers, the Voice Sense QWERTY has a powerful line-up of
applications to help make you productive in your educational and
work environment, or in your personal life. Browse the web with
built-in Wi-Fi or listen to the Voice Sense QWERTY with a
Bluetooth headset. Whether you are a working professional, a
student, retired, or if you have low vision, the Voice Sense
QWERTY is the small, easy solution to keep you in touch with your
friends and family, keep you organized, or to use as
entertainment.
Desktop SenseView
The Desktop SenseView continues its breakthrough technology
with its included DVI port, making it simple to connect any
flat-screen television or new computer. The new enhanced version
offers a sleek design, and the improved image quality makes it
one of the best desktop CCTVs in its class. It�셲 stylish,
simplistic design makes using the Desktop SenseView a breeze.

bottle, newspapers, magazines, and even look at photos of your
friends and family. Stay up-to-date with your bills by using the
Desktop SenseView to read your mail and bank statements. With
the ease of use of the Desktop SenseView, simply take it out of
the box, connect the cables, and begin to enjoy viewing life all
over again!
Free Upgrade for all Desktop SenseView Customers
As continued appreciation to all of our current Desktop
SenseView customers, all customers who currently own a Desktop
SenseView in the U.S. will be receiving a brand new replacement
Desktop SenseView! These are not used or demo units, but brand
new units that will replace the existing Desktop SenseView units.
