Well Graham I was told by Steve Nutt that upgrading my version 2 to the new 
version to be released will only cost £50.00, so hope this is the case.

  the jaws ones are generally private betas until near the end.  this means 
that Freedom Scientific distributes beta versions of the software to people who 
agree to use it, along with appropriate antidisclosure agreements, gagging 
orders and threats of death if anyone discusses new features that may come 
along.

  the public beta generally appears between 2 weeks and a month before final 
release.  anyone can download and use this.

  It would be good to know where to get the public TALKS beta from when it 
appears.  It would also be nice to know whether or not a new version will be 
free or an upgrade.  I do think that now a bigger company owns the product, it 
would be nice to have more of a structure and, for example, be able to buy 
software maintenance agreements.

  Regards

  Graham

    No, I had no idea what a Public Beta was. Where is it likely to be 
published? I'd often heard people talking about Betas in relation to JAWS but 
never knew until now what they were. Thanks for solving the mystery!

      Hi Babs, a public beta version is one which has been posted to a site 
where anyone from the public can download it and trial it.  Generally it is pre 
released before the main release candidate in order that people can check out 
its features and the vendor can resolve any found bugs before the main release.

      Hope that helps.

      Have you seen a public beta of talx then?

      Steve

        Hi Steve

        Sorry if I'm showing my ignorance, but what is a "Public Beta" version?

          Hi Babs,

          Well, basically, it's like this.

          Yes, the N91 will be compatible with talks but the new version which 
isn't currently available.  There will be a public beta available of this 
within the next week or so I am told.  The N80 I understand will work with this 
version as well.  It's because they are next generation symbian OS phones.

          I'll tell ya what I did see though which was very nbice.  The new N73 
is smaller than the N70, I'm almost sure of that and I seem to remember that it 
will be talks compatible.

          My advice would be to hold off for a couple of weeks.

          Cheers.

          Steve

            I have been asked by a friend and I just wanted to double check on 
here before giving information that might be wrong. The Nokia N91 is compatible 
with TALKS? And works well? (I think someone posted a message to that affect on 
here recently). And the Nokia N80 is not at present but hopefully is soon to be?

            Hopefully someone can confirm what I think is the case as my friend 
is interested in both these phones and doesn't want to get the wrong one.
