Thanks Joseph
I thought ce 6 was here? Isn't it in other notetakers, at least
one other?
Best!

Hi Peter,
No - not that I'm aware of. If CE6 is here, GWM or HIMS would
have revised
the OS info under Information List. Also, there would be no
messages when
virtual memory runs out and there would be no restrictions on
multitasking -
almost unlimited number of BSP programs can be run, subject to
upper process
limit of 32,768 and physical RAM capacity.
Cheers,
Joseph

Hi Joseph
Could 5,5 for the Sense notetakers have had CE 6?

Hi James and list,
This is the very reason why I've been warning you about Windows
CE 5.0:
CE5.0 (the operating system) itself DOES NOT support AES
(Advanced
Encryption Standard) right now - unless HIMS can write a small
driver (or an
OS add-on) that will enable support of this standard. Sometimes,
it's the
notetaker's software that's to blame, while on the other hand,
it's the
underlying thing that'll cause this incompatibility.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: [GWN] Behind the times?
Hello again!
As some of you may remember I haven't been able to connect to the
internet
since I got cable for my TV, phone and internet. To make a long
story
short, Raul said The Sense products only work with TKIP
connections, not
AES. Since that time, I purchased a new windows seven 64 bit PC.
It too
describes my connection as AES. As I stated previously, I can't
detect any
signal from my wireless router with the VS even though I could be
inches
from the router! I can go outside and see other signals in the
neighborhood
even though most of these hav WEP or WPA incription. If I plug
in my old
router which isn't connected to the internet, that signal is
detected with
no difficulty! The question is what to do?
Who is to blame here? We have been told that we don't need 64 bit
computers
even though GW Micro brought Window eyes up to speed with this!
Perhaps we
might be told we don't need AES either! Just go out and buy
another
wireless router! Keep trying till you find one which works with
modem and
VS! When the cable person set up our three computers at the time,
didn't
have number four yet, he was here for fifteen minutes to a half
hour or so.
He installed something called Digi-do on our Pcs. This software
enables
them to see from their end whether we are having connection
problems or not,
I guess this is what it does! I tried connecting to other
wireless networks
and turned off digi-do and my netbook worked just fine! When I
got computer
number four, the windows seven 64 bit machine, it worked fine
with my
network up to the time I installed digi-do onto it and all is
still fine!
If the VS could work with aES, I'm certain I wouldn't need to
worry about
digi-do with it! I placed the dash there so that the screen
reader can read
it more clearly! The computer tech didn't mess with router
settings or
anything like that! It lined up with their system with the
digi-do
software. I only needed to give him my WPA2 password so I could
connect to
the network! It was a slick operation to be sure! No doubt the
high speed
broad band connection might have sounded wonderful with the VS if
it could
connect!
I guess I tend to take the path of least resistance! I get very
tired of the
cable company telling me to contact the manufacturer of my PDA
for a
solution and GW Micro insisting I get another router or dumb down
my
internet security so the Voice Sense can connect! All four
computers in
this house, one of which is five or six years old connect fine to
the cable
AES connection! I'm certain the computer I have which crashed
would have
been able to connect as well if it were operational. Since my
$350 netbook
works just fine as well as the rest of the pcs in the house, why
disrupt
things for the VS? Perhaps getting a $60 linksys modem would be
cheaper
than a new I-pod touch but a sales person at Best Buy stated the
I-pod touch
works with Bresnan Communications cable Connections which may
become Cable
vision shortly! Yes! I miss my Voice sense! But if a PC which
is five and
six years old connects fine with AES, why should we have to worry
about this
with our notetakers? Why can't they be up to speed to work with
most any
internet connection? I use to blame the cable company! I'm
starting to
change my mind! Our blindness notetakers are behind the times,
not up to
date and we are paying dearly for it! I'm glad I simply bought
the Voice
Sense and not the Braille Sense Plus. I really would have been
mad if my
$6000 notetaker couldn't connect to the internet! A friend of
mine recently
moved and he too has a Bresnan Cable connection. He does have a
Linksys
modem and he connects to the web with his VS but cannot send or
receive
Email. Perhaps the upgrade will fix this! Time will tell! It is
bad enough
that one cannot play flash content even though flash isn't my
favorite
thing! Then this happens where I cannot connect! I either must
have less
of a secure network and buy another modem or simply write the VS
off as a
device which can go online here! I think that's the direction
I'm going
with this! May end up with that I-pod touch yet! Some are
predicting the
death of the notetaker and others say the windows mobile platform
won't be
supported after the end of this year! Who really can say?
I'm hoping a solution can be found for the Sense products
concerning this
matter! I was so thrilled when the VS came out with a build in
wireless
adapter or whatever it is called! I wouldn't need to use a Wy FI
CF card
again! Now, we are faced with aES and as far as I know, the
Sense products
cannot work with aES connections. I'm wondering whether this is
a problem
with the APEX, Braille Plus and Icon as well? If so, most
blindness
products need to come up to speed with this! I shouldn't have to
worry
about connecting to internet if the vS would support what my $350
netbook
supports! Perhaps there are too many limitations with mobile
windows
platform five specifically, I really don't know! Here's hoping
there is a
solution for this problem!
I think too Hymns Braille Displays should meet the HID (human
Interface
Device) standards. They can work with device drivers or connect
directly to
a PC and work! One can get such displays which don't work on the
Voice
Sense to my knowledge and the sync Braille only works with Voice
sense! So
round and round we go! How nice it would be if the Sync Braille
could work
with I-phones, I-pod touch, I-pad and a host of other things!
This would
make this investment a more reasonable one! I of course know
technology
changes so quickly but why can't what we pay dearly for be up to
speed with
both secure and non secure networks, TKiP and AES as well as HID.
I'm
afraid if this is not addressed, more and more people are going
to opt for
the I-phones, I-pod touch and other mainstream products. If I
want my
streams back, I'll need to persue that I-pod Touch since the
I-phone isn't
yet available out where I'm living.
GW Micro is a wonderful company but I'm wondering how might this
be solved!
I'm not trying to be a pill here! I run into this type of
discussion all
the time! Yes! I've heard about the limited market and on it
goes but I
think Hymns and GW Micro need to find a solution to this! Oh
yes! Almost
forgot! Window Eyes works fine on this $350 netbook and I'm
using it to
write this post!
Thanks for your time and thanks for reading!
Jim
