well said Sieghard, can't agree more with your post. Rob, iOS 6 got up to 6.14 although i think 6.14 only for iPhone 5 users.
Hmm, all these 53++ messages let me think of a business opportunity. I reckon i can hunt down some of the Nokia button phones and i also have a friend that was a Talks diller in Asia and Pacific. Deal to the not-so-recent development, he has about 1000 license sitting somewhere with him and he lost a big chunk of his business on this investment. Oh, he also have some of the KNFB reader license as well... What about this, fully license Talks and a old Nokia phone for $500US, or, Talks + KNFB reader + WayFinder (remember those folks?) + Nokia N86 for $1500US? And consider thise, since you are such a good convert from Apple to good old Nokia, i offer you 10% discount, to $450 for a good old nokia phone with talks, or $1350 for the lots? That those, still cheaper than your Braille + 18... and you know, you get all those goodies that you get for old time sake. :P Joanne Chua The flip side of Inclusion is Exclusion.
