Hi, Yes. I would like to second the cell phone and spreadsheet capabilities. I would be very interested in bluetooth headset feature. I recently read an article of how cell phones are being used as universal remotes. That would be very cool for the BP to do. How about being able to incorporate software packages from APH such as moneytalks? Thanks for listening!

I can tell you in the mediam range road, we all know and want the unit to include GPS and cell phone capabilities, but we'd love to hear your (and others) thoughts. Also on the road map are better internet browser, many Bookshelf features, seemless sinchronization of contacts and appointments (don't have to do anything to make it happen,) math equation editor, more powerful word processing, speed enhancements, spreadsheet, database, and with a USB camera, scanning bar codes, reading text, and identifying colors and light, but integration with some of the social networks are both educationally and professionally valuable to many users, too. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Allison" <sweet_sarcasm@xxxxxxx> To: "Icon Discuss" <icon-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, April 18, 2009 3:43 AM Subject: [icon-discuss] Re: will Facebook ever be included in the Braille Plus features? > Personally, I'd rather new Braille+ features focus on things I can use > professionally.
