Hi Neil,
According to CF, no current plans for Windows Phone 7.
All the best
Steve

Steve,
If you mean Look Around, from Sendero for the iPhone, its almost done, should
be out shortly.
I agree a market for Symbian GPS will exist, what we can do about that no idea.
And as for Windows Mobile 7 Phones, or whatever they are calling it, I believe
that CF will fix those issues sooner rather than later.

Hi Neil,
I would suspect that Geo has a pretty short shelf life as well, since Microsoft
Phone 7 will be released soon, and has no accessibility currently. We badly
need a working Symbian version. There are a couple for the iPhone too which
are not bad, but look around is what we need.
All the best
Steve

There is Geo, and I would suspect that someone, perhaps not immediately, but
within a year or so will come out with another phone based solution.

Well with the demise of wfa and also trekker pro what does that leave us now
with? Especially when you're now having to rely yet again on note taking
devices and how many people are going to want to carry one around again?

Hi Martin,
I am a member of the Loadstone list and although that product is free it has
achieved quite a lot in recent months. I am not a programmer but surely with
the technology and expertise out there someone could adapt either google or
Nokia maps to work with talks. I am not certain but a friend of mine told me he
uses Nokia maps with mobile speak. Maybe someone can either correct or concur
with that statement.
I have tried Loadstone myself some time ago but haven't tried it recently. If
that program can be created through the hard work and dedication of volunteers
surely someone somewhere could get talks to work with these maps. That's what
logic tells me but I accept it is much more complex than that.
Sorry to say but at the moment the almighty dollar seems to come before
customer care or needs especially when it comes to disability.
Kindest Regards, John

Over the last few days I have noticed lots of talk about GPS apps
for the phones we use, it seems to me that most of what we require
is available in such things as Nokia's maps it's just the access side
that is thin (stating the obvious here - sorry) so with this in mind
would not a way forward be to make formal approach to Nokia stating
how many Talks users there are ant stating the changes/additions
required to the existing maps app to make it useful. Nokia might
consider it worth while developing the accessibility side of things if for no
other reason than
good PR and customer relations. Thoughts anybody?
The main thing here is we do not want to reinvent the wheel - there
are loads of products just so close to what we want.
