MY, MY! A little testy! If you would have taken a moment before you replied to my message, you would have noticed that I sent it before you send your last post describing what OWASYS is. My message to you was sent at 9:37 AM, and your reply note to Nick and the group was sent at 4:25 PM. Allowing for time differences, I still was sending my note before you wrote your reply. So, back off on the attitude. Oh yeah! As to my thoughts on what the OWASYS is all about. How is it any different then what is already out there. Just like existing cell phone equipment, the OWASYS is exclusionary. How is someone going to share it with the sited community if they can't read a screen. Yep, it has happened yet again. Let's develop a product for a small market so that we can keep the price high. But then again that is what adaptive technology is all about, isn't it? After all, a good friend of mine just bought a Motorola phone that off the shelf seems to be able to speak all of the functionality except for the Web browser piece. I believe he said it is the Motorola V710. But I need to confirm this with him.
