Accessible World

Discussing new technology is something Jonathan Mosen enjoys and does very well.
As Vice President of Blindness Hardware Product Management at Freedom Scientific,
he has been invited to share information with the Tek Talk virtual audience this
week on the new features of PAC Mate Omni 6..1
Attendees will learn that the PAC Mate Omni Accessible Pocket PC is available with
or without refreshable Braille, and in Braille and qwerty input versions. Out of
the box, it contains a wide range of essential tools for school and work use, but
it can also be extended through the installation of a wide range of third party Windows
Mobile applications. You won't want to miss his demonstration of features never before
seen on a notetaker such as universal contracted Braille entry, PDF support, support
for a range of commercial eBooks, and expanded quick navigation keys on the Web.
