Hi,
You might be talking about the SDK (no more posts on that since
GWM said its final words - no SDK at the moment). The latest
firmware in Korean are mostly bug fixes (and people there still
report bugs with
file management).
Cheers,
Joseph

Hi Peter,
Mind you, I hope I'm wrong, I just have a recollection of some
posts Joseph made a while back where it sounded to me like the
Korean version was more developed, and did stuff that the English
version didn't. I know that's not very specific, but it's the
best I can do. :)
Cheers,
Donna

Remember, an update in Korean does not necessarily mean an
update in English. My impression from Joseph's earlier posts, is
that the Korean version is much more sophisticated.
Best,
Donna

Hi,
I purchased my BSP in late November, 2009. I have to say that I
like the unit and use it almost all the time.
There are bugs in this unit and there are many improvements
which should have been made. Like all too many of us, I've been
waiting for more than a year to have these bugs fixed and
improvements added.
I suspect that GW is not in control of these products. For all
I know, GW has been after HIMS to get its act together. They
shouldn't bring out all of these new products before fixing those
which are in grave need of work.
In these bad economic times, these problems may well catch up
with GW.
GW MICRO has always done well with the support of its own
products. I wish they'd developed its products rather than
importing them. Had that been true, we wouldn't all be waiting
as we have.
How will GW defend itself? It needs to do that.
I've been using GW MICRO's products when the firm first went
into busims. I worked with Doug even before that.
Joe G.

was wishing she had one. Perhaps she'll get one some day.
As I stated in the beginning of this little chat, there's always
room for improvement, and I'm hopeful that GW will get to it in
due time. But I just wouldn't want them to pass the BSP users
up.

This is truly a disappointment. When I purchased my
BrailleSense Plus in January of '09, I was ininassured 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 ininnothing 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.

location.
