I agree. I do use the current voice memo feature to make notes for myself. =
I, too, use the clock, but also carry a watch, so it's not my primary =

No, I think that the current method of setting the time and date are=20
adequate. Frankly, I don't even want to see the ability to enter memos =
in=20
braille (as somebody mentioned here a week or so ago) because if I want =
a=20
notetaker, that's what I'll buy and carry. Let's keep this *primarily =
and=20
exclusively* a reading system and concentrate on the reading functions =
and=20
not go hanging every bell and whistle on it that we can think of. The =
reason=20
I think this is such a phenomenal device is that it's got a focused =
concept=20
and design and those who're doing the updating have also remained focused =

making it the best reading tool available to us. I don't want to see =

Hi Folks,
Now that I finally figured out the braille input side of this, what do =
you=20
think of making braille input more effective? First, what about the =
option=20
of entering braille for the time/date, say T chord to set time and =
date.=20
First, prompt the user for the time in hour, minute, Am or PM, then hit=20
braille enter, then of course set the date in mm/dd/yy or for us UK =
users=20
dd/mm/yy.
That brings up another idea. What about the ability to parse dates so =
that=20
they speak in brittish or american formats. so, when key 2 is pressed =
for=20
one beap, we could have it say 22nd of october, 2004 for UK and october=20
22nd, 2004 for the american markets.
What do you think?
Oh and another idea. What about the option of setting a reminder, you =
know,=20
play a memo, or play such an mp3 at a specified time/date?
Best
