Hi,
That is indeed an interesting idea. But please bear in mind that there are
now and will be many more Icon users who don't know any Braille,
especially thumb Braille. So any implementation of such an idea should be
relevant to the largest possible user-base.
Thanks,
Margaret

Subject: [icon-discuss] Interesting Idea
I just thought of an interesting idea for a future release. For those of you
who have owned Pocket PC devices or PACmates, you will be familiar with
this, but for those who don't I should explain. In the Pocket PC environment
you get the opportunity to password-protect your device. In the case of
Mobile Speak Pocket, there are even some devices with finger print scanners.
If your device is stolen, you can have it set so that if the thief has 3
failed password attempts, the unit will excecute a hard reset and wipe
everything as a protective measure. I was thinking about something similar
for the Icon. To make it even more complexing for the thief, however, and
less likely to try it in the first place, I think the password should be
limited to thumb braille only. Any thoughts on this?
