Hello all. Just FYI, we have already been talking to HIMS about an SDK for the American versions of the Sense notetakers. They plan on eventually making it available, but they have not given us a date. So it's not a matter of GW Micro trying to convince HIMS. It's a matter of when HIMS is ready to do this. So I don't see that a petition would help, but if you have the time, anything is possible.
Many thanks. On 5/5/2010 6:29 PM, Joe Orozco wrote: > Let's petition them.
