I guess, but wouldn't that put extra strain on the batteries? The bookport
would always have to be somewhat on (or is it already) to remember when to
"ring" or whatever the sound would be.) But it could be implemented, if you
really wanted it. It might be good for if you were reading, and you happened
to have an appointment at such and such time, and the alarm could either
sound in your ears (making you jump) <smile> or externally (my personal
favorite, or probably my preference.)
best,
Tyler

The lock beep is external. So, I think an external alarm feature could be implemented as well. Also, I've written chapters of books on the BookPort. Not read them, but written them. Yes, the clipboard is quite small, and as far as I know, there's no "Cut" feature. But I've gotten it to work, since I don't have another note-taker. As for the suggestion of a calculator, the keyboard already lends itself to that. I bet we'll see one in the future.

How would that alarm work? You'd need to wear headphones everywhere, and that sounds rather complicated...but it could be worked around I guess. What is wrong with the notetaker? Its not meant to have huge notes taken; its just for basic little memos, like phone numbers, street addresses, etc etc. Maybe some notes from a meeting. But, as technology goes on...

I do too. sounds like a good idea. I would also like to see the notetaker feature improved. I'd like perhaps for the clipboard to be a bit larger, and also to see an alarm feature where you could set the time and the bookport would sound an alarm to remind you of apointments, to wake you up in the mroning, etc. It wouldn't have to be a fully-fledged appointment calendar, just a simple alarm feature. I'd also like to see a calculator, either basic or scientific, I don't care. That way I won't have to carry around an extra talking calculator I could just use the one on the bookport.

I like that idea a lot. I sometimes receive email that is fairly lengthy and that consists of technical or otherwise sensitive material. This would be a great help.

That is certainly something we can take a look at, and it is a great idea.

Hello listers and APH, I am wondering if it would be possible to implament a send to Book Port
option to the file menu for sending emails directly to the BP.
I think this would be a great addition to the Book Port Transfer software.
Thanks
Scott
