Hi John,
It's true that my kitkat tablet also says web view, and it's a tablet, but
not sure about newer androids. But it's not the touch, that does it, only.
Sorry for not knowing more.

hi there i think it's like the iphone how far will it go with upgrades at
least the iphone ones are free what with jaws and window eyes it's a very
costly business keeping up to date. i do understand companies have to make a
profit but for us blind people we always have to pay out.
going on to another subject humanware have told me that the android version
on the braille touch has nothing to do with the third party apps keep saying
web view but i just cannot believe that at all. what ever i do with my touch
after this new upgrade i should be able to connect to my iphone with it and
it will not work at all. i would love to know if this device was running on a
much newer tablet with a much better processor would it make it better. again
i have paid out of my own money £2700 for this device and as a keysoft device
it has a long way to catch up with an apex and as a tablet with the third
party apps it's terible.

Hi David,
Also, I get the feeling that these annual upgrades don't really amount too
that much. In your, and the lists opinion, when was the last trueley
significant / innovative upgrade? In other words, what new features or
improvements have FS added to Jaws to justify the high price of these
upgrades?

There is a sneaky game which Freedom Scientific play where they try
to persuade you to purchase an SMA. Using this process you will get
rights
to upgrade to 2 versions of Jaws for pretty much the price you are
currently
having to pay for the single price you are now being quoted.
The catch is that you have to purchase this by a deadline to get the SMA
price and you have to have the current version of Jaws already to qualify
for the SMA scheme. Basically as soon as Jaws goes into beta for the next
version it is worth renewing your SMA if you want to stay in the scheme.
This wis why the upgrade price offered by FS during Summer Exhibitions is
not such a good deal as you might imagine as it of course only kept you
current for a few months and you will then need to purchase an SMA if you
want to keep current without paying the full upgrade price.
I an an reluctant payer of an SMA and I think there are many others. It
appears that Jaws is still the primary cscreenreader according to he
survey
results distributed on this list a few days ago.

Hi List,
I had to call Sight and Sound to enquire about an unrelated issue and
while
I was there I asked what the price is to upgrade from jaws 17 to the
latest
18. I learned that the price is now £150. I believe that at Sight
Village
that the upgrade was being sold for £99.
All I can say is that I wont be purchasing jaws 18 I might just donate
money
to NVDA development.
What an absolutely bare faced rip off.
