The older program was often refered to as Active Stink as it was
never easy. My work PC will not accept Device Center, so that
opsion deesnT work for me either; maybe not eeven on the Touch!

Hi Ann, in the newer versions of windows active sync is called
windows
device centre (I think). I haven't gotten around to trying to
sync my
calendar and contacts with my outlook yet but hope to do it soon
since as it
is I have some information on each of my machines but not all the
information on both.
Hope this helps.
From Shaz.

Hi all,
I agree that it is exciting to think that there will be a device
that
will work in the eco-system you describe. However, there needs
to be a
way to meld the old and the new. Being able to export one's
contacts
and calendar to a .csv file or somehow to sync them to outlook
would
seem to be the best option.
BTW, speaking of syncing, I have never tried it with the Apex,
but am
interested to see if it is possible. I went onto the Humanware
web
site, looking for Active Sync, but couldn't find it. Do you need
active Sync for Windows10? I figure if I can sync my Apex stuff
to
Outlook, and if I get a Touch in future, then all I'll need to do
is
sync the outlook with the touch. I admit it's kind of a
round-about
way to do it, but if it works--?

Many of your questions can be answered on this page:

Personally I am excited about the Touch. The need to export
proprietary
file
formats to interface with other devices is exactly the reason to
get out
of
the proprietary closed environment and work in the same
ecosystem as the
rest of the world with the benefit and efficiency offered by a
device
designed to meet the needs of blind users. Android currently
does not
offer
TouchBraille, Grade II Braille input or first letter navigation.
This is
the
first time I have become excited about entering the Android
world. I am
also
looking forward to an end to the days of crashing and lost data.
Let's
face
it: Keymail and Keyweb are fairly useless in the modern
landscape and have
to remain relevant if anyone is going to take them seriously.
The Apex is
becoming more irrelevant. I'm looking forward to the days of
sitting on my
couch accessing the Internet with the Touch completely in
Braille and not
having to sit at my desk on my computer unless I need to.
