I totally agree. I am so looking forward to code factory releasing = mobile geo, then I'll be able to read and compose email using outlook, browse = the web with internet explorer, stream music and other audio with windows = media player, play stored audio and movies and even make and receive calls all from my cell phone. Add mobile geo and I can navigate from here to = there and back again. All of this from a refurbished Blackjack I I bought for $29. After adding the discounted price for Mobile Speak, price of = Mobile Geo, external keyboard and 4 gb memory card and external gps receiver = the price is just below $1000 and its all portable. =20 Steve -----Original Message----- From: real-eyes-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx = [mailto:real-eyes-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Reginald George Sent: Sunday, July 06, 2008 4:49 AM To: real-eyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [real-eyes] Re: bar code scan I just listened to this demo, and it is very cool. I'm sure that soon=20 there will be lots of tutorials around demonstrating how to create = simple=20 scripts for Windoweyes. It's wonderful that for much lless than $200 = you=20 can by an omni directional scanner and instantly know what kkind of = serial=20 you are holding, what that CD is in your hand, or what that can of soup = or=20 vegetables you bought is.

Steve, let us know how it turns = out.=20 I predict that in the next five years even agencies will start moving = toward purchasing applications that will run on cell phones to do all these = things. It's so much more stable and practical and then you can take your = technology where you need it. The old line companies will have to adjust to this = trend or lose out. As Steve and others have stated on this list before, Why = would anyone want to carry around programs running on large clunky notetakers = or=20 laptops when their counterparts running on cell phones work so much = better=20 and are more stable and easier to use? This day is here now. Many of = us=20 just haven't made the transition yet. So I hoist my virtual glass to = true=20 convergence in it's purest form. Anyone want to join me?

I just purchased a USB bar code=20 scanner and I cannot wait to get it and use it at home. This is just so = cool. With the release of Window-Eyes 7.0, we've been able to make our life a = bit=20 easier by using bar codes. In this short demonstration, listen as J.J. uses a = bar=20 code scanner and a Window-eyes script to identify packages and read product = directions. http://www.blindbargains.com/redirect.php?redirect=3D3243 Steve To subscribe or to leave the list, or to set other subscription options, = go=20 to www.freelists.org/list/real-eyes To subscribe or to leave the list, or to set other subscription options, = go to www.freelists.org/list/real-eyes To subscribe or to leave the list, or to set other subscription options, go to www.freelists.org/list/real-eyes
