FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION
Jonathan Mosen To Demonstrate What's new with PAC Mate Omni 6.1 During Tek
Talk Monday, August 11, 2008
Accessible World News Wire, Indianapolis, Indiana USA
Discussing new technology is something Jonathan Mosen enjoys and does very
well. As Vice President of Blindness Hardware Product Management at Freedom
Scientific, he has been invited to share information with the Tek Talk
virtual audience this week on the new features of PAC Mate Omni 6..1
Attendees will learn that the PAC Mate Omni Accessible Pocket PC is
available with or without refreshable Braille, and in Braille and qwerty
input versions. Out of the box, it contains a wide range of essential tools
for school and work use, but it can also be extended through the
installation of a wide range of third party Windows Mobile applications. You
won't want to miss his demonstration of features never before seen on a
notetaker such as universal contracted Braille entry, PDF support, support
for a range of commercial eBooks, and expanded quick navigation keys on the
Web.

advantageous to blind people. Jonathan ultimately became Chairman of the
Royal new Zealand Foundation for the Blind, and the President of New

questions following the presentation.
