Barry are you aware that a Nano sized iPhone is rumoured to launch later
this year.

Only if it has a good vibrate alert.
Seriously, if there was a better shaped I-phone, I'd consider it.

Park it in the pouch just inside your trouser/Jeans middle pocket, big
boy.

Aside from the steep learning curve for touch screens, for me, it's a
matter of aesthetics. I don't like the shape of the I-phone. Yes, it's
thin, but it's not exactly pocket sized. I keep my mobile in my
trouser/jeans pocket, but the I-phone just won't sit comfortably there.
Cheers
Barry

Hal a loo ya, my god I think he's got it, and you don't need to spend
any more on speech software, as it is built in, and updates are free.
Now to burn those Freedom Scientologists, along with those greedy
bankers.

Oh dear. It does seem like Apple is the only viable option. Is there
any access with the Android system?
Cheers

But I'd rather presumed that MobileSpeak was also dead in the water
because it works on Windows, and, as discussed, the new Windows Mobile 7
operating system is inaccessible. I understood that MobileSpeak were
working on other income streams to stay afloat. These were just rumours
but they seem to make sense unless a big access solution is pending very
soon with Windows.
What is the future for Talks?
I note that Nuance has created some kind of app that works on the
iPhone. I think it's just provision of speech synthesis.

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.

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?
