I think you are way, way off here. What the heck do I care about making
girls drop their panties? These are tools for petes sake? Who gives a flying
fig how stylish they are?
And a touch screen? Holy cow! For blind people, there is no way a touch
screen can come close to a keyboard for ease of input. In fact, there are
people making money selling keypads for blind people to put over touch
screens.
There is nothing wrong with the basic design of a Pac Mate. The technology
is old so it's thicker and heavier than it has to be. But other than that,
it's perfectly fine. There is no way a unit could have a smaller top surface
and still be as useful as a Pac Mate. I need a keyboard and an integrated
braille display. That's exactly what the Pac Mate is. There's no wasted
space on the top surface of a Pac Mate.
I think you're confusing the Pac Mate with a cell phone. It's not a cell
phone. You don't take your Pac Mate with you on a date. You take it too
meetings and to class. What you really need to do is compare a KNFB Reader
to your ideal machine, not a Pac Mate. The Pac Mate was never intended to do
what you want a device to do.
