Perhaps we could switch to Mobilespeak? Yes, it means that any of our
investment in Talks is going to go to waste, and also means that we have to
pay for another speech software system, but it's an option.

Subject: [access-uk] Is this the end for accessibility to Nokia mobile
phones?
Nokia have today announced that they are partnering with MicroSoft and will
be using the Microsoft Windows Mobile 7 operating system which is presently
inaccessible.
The noise suggests that the Symbian operating system, which Talks runs on,
will be sidelined.
So, by extension, does this mean that Talks is now dead in the water?
I speak as a long time Talks user who would be a bit disappointed if so.
Is Apple iPhone the only choice left now?
