Kevin, this is a good pointer. For folks interested there's also a fair bit of MSP discussion, not just MSS. Personally, I can't wait to give Mobile Geo a spin. I know there is a lot of love on this list for the blind specific note taking devices but it's exciting to see the explosion of options available to us in the off the shelf "consumer" space now. These new technologies do a lot to remove the price barrier. Get your self a new Sprint phone, (Mogul possibly), MSP license and you're out the door, same day for under $600. It's just nice to walk in to a phone store now and have options in a similar way that we do in the computer side of the house. Even if Mobile Geo is a few grand (which I suspect it won't be) it's still a cost saver. Might not be as full functioned and easy to use as Sendero natively on a BN but there is no need to take out a second either.:) Not to mention the ease of interoperability with off the shelf devices and the chicks dig the cool phones. Much more than the screenless, shapeless designs we had before. Choice and progress are wonderful things, how exciting! Oh and these are great snippets you forward. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Chao To: gps-talkusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2008 3:12 PM Subject: [gps-talkusers] Mobile Geo, An Interview With Roselle Ambubuyog, Code Factory Product and Technical Support Manager RSS Feeds: THE MARK TAYLOR CANDLESHORE BLOG begin quoted material: Hello Everyone, I hope you enjoy this 50 minute Pod Cast in which I interview Ms. Roselle Ambubuyog, Code Factory’s Mobile Speak, for Windows Mobile, product manager.
