I am using a beta test ver of the
Talx software, while it can on odd ocasions be a little slow, like all
screen readers, I love it and the access it gives is stupendious. Now SMS,
E/mail contact lists and calanda and comms are all in the one gizmo for us
and we don't have to carry around 5 things to do those things. We also must
observe the cost facter, a 9210.. or 9290 for the US market and the software
is less expensive than say a braille note or other portable PDA's though
there are some things they can't do.
Try it is my recomendation.
