Re: BrailleSense Polaris out
Re: BrailleSense Polaris out Even models before the Polaris could b "hacked". Go to the File Manager, select "flashdisk" and in the edit box for an address path, type flashdisk/../ Then, you can play with system files as much as you like.

Re: BrailleSense Polaris out
Re: BrailleSense Polaris out I do not think that any of the blindness type companies that are work on products such as the braille sense and or the braille note touch fully care when it comes to security. I am betting that they are more worried about getting a working product out. Add to that, the design of the products are specialized when it comes to the use of said products. I do not know exactly how much goes to the specialized functions of said products, but the choice of android, while sounding good at first, will come back around and haunt them. I wonder if someone will hack a braille sense in front of one of these representatives and if said hacking would have them become more security aware. You do raise a really good point over all serrebi. I will not argue with that. On the other hand, if they are watching these main stream products, they will see that some of these main stream products are not being kept up-to-date. When they see that, they may not see a good reason to stay on the latest android a nd they may also have limited programmer power and or time here. Plus, how many do you know, that buys this products, thinks about being hacked? Yes, it is a problem, but I am betting that they will not fix it until they see it as a problem.

Re: BrailleSense Polaris out
Re: BrailleSense Polaris out The argument for mainstream Android comes down to security. If you aren't bothered by Android's security concerns, I don't know what I can say. I used to use 8 a's as my password in that timeframe. Security concerns evolve, so should your technology concerns. People shouldn't worry about this if hims are actually committed to keeping their users secure for 5-10 years out.

Re: BrailleSense Polaris out
Re: BrailleSense Polaris out With your stander android phone, you will find that that the hocus is mainly a computer in your pocket with a phone attached all in one nice package. The braille sense seems to be a computer with the note taking stuff front and center. These note taker stuff is the main hocus as far as I can tell. It comes down to where the hocus is as far as I can tell. As for the version of the OS, the braille note touch has it beet when it comes to the oldest version. LOL. I know that I used my PACmate all the way through university and it did its’ job well for what I used it for. I used my PACmate for taking notes. When I got my PACmate back in 2003, windows mobile was the going thing. Yes, I made some use of main stream software for it, but not as much as I thought I would. Of course I left high school around 2006. I finished up with university in 2014. By the time I finished up in 2014, I found that I was sort drifting over to the laptop seeing that I needed to work on papers and the like while in class. That PACmate was good for writing stuff down, but the laptop was a lot more useful because of the desktop version of word. I see the braille sense taking the place now that the PACmate took then. For me, it was not the main stream software as much of the note taking stuff. Yes, the main stream software that I could get help when I was making my choice on between it and the braille note at the time. I think that the main stream software will help some, but the feature set may be the reason why you would get the Braille sense. Yes, you can get your main stream apps on other devices, but the note taking features will be the kicker if you need the note taking features along with the built in display. Thankfully we have more choice now days than we did when I first got my PACMate. Now days, my PACmate is running wm6.0 JAWS for pocket PC 6.5. Yes, there is a bit of a differences between windows CE 5.2 and WM6.0. Basically, windows CE 5.2 is the underline APIS that WM6.0 needs. Of course, jaws is sitting on top of the WM6.0 UI. I know this because I looked up some of this stuff seeing that I needed to know some of this to find software that I wanted to use on it. Knowing this proved helpful when I had trouble find out why somethings was not working like I thought it should. Knowing this help me to use google instead of calling FS and asking them when it was just a setting that I needed to change in WM6.0. What I am wondering is how much more challenging it would be to figure what a setting does on the Braille sense does seeing that the UI on the braille sense is so much different than the main stream UI. Sorry for wondering all around without thinking.

Re: BrailleSense Polaris out
Re: BrailleSense Polaris out I think it's the same unless you are using their stock apps. In the demo, talkback talked over their SR when they went into the all apps folder or launched an Android app. Maybe braille is customized too. No one should feel bad for choosing this kind of option if it is what they are used to/need.

Re: BrailleSense Polaris out
Re: BrailleSense Polaris out Trenton, your post was cut.Serrebi, the reasons that one would choose to purchase a Polaris are that it offers far superior braille quality to BrailleBack, and I believe that the method it uses to connect the braille display and standard apps is superior to Talkback.

Re: BrailleSense Polaris out
Re: BrailleSense Polaris out Problem I have with the Polaris from what I understand after hearing the same audio is that this thing is running Lollipop, and will be upgraded. Expect, at best, this thing to be running last years android if it upgrades fast enough even, but I don't think note taker companies care about people wanting the latest Android. Personally if you are smart enough to need the customization of Android, I don't know why you'd pick a notetaker when a much faster device with a braille display can be much cheaper after all is said and done, but each to their own.

BrailleSense Polaris out
BrailleSense Polaris out I have heard on the blind bargains podcast that the BrailleSense Polaris is now out. So I thought that I would bring this topic up to let everyone know. I checked and saw the announcement on hims-inc. Any thoughts?
