>(St. Petersburg, Florida  May 13, 2008) Freedom 
>Scientific’s Open Plan, announced today, will 
>help blind users of VoiceNote, BrailleNote, 
>mPower, and BrailleNote PK notetakers upgrade to 
>an open platform that uses the familiar Windows® 
>interface and runs mainstream applications.
>
>Until October 31, 2008, users in the United 
>States and Canada can trade in one of the 
>aforementioned HumanWare products and save more 
>than 50 percent on a PAC Mate Omni&#8482 
>accessible Pocket PC. Purchase prices after trade-in are:
>    * PAC Mate Omni BX400 and QX400 speech-only units: $995
>    * PAC Mate Omni BX420 and QX420 20-cell braille units: $1,795
>    * PAC Mate Omni BX440 and QX440 40-cell braille units: $2,545
>
>Those taking advantage of the Open Plan will be 
>able to choose from more onboard applications, 
>read from more braille cells, and access 
>mainstream applications and peripherals. 
>Students learn the Windows operating system as 
>they use the PAC Mate Omni, knowledge they will 
>draw from for the rest of their lives.
>
>PAC Mate Omni users can communicate via Windows 
>Live&#8482 messaging, synchronize with their 
>Microsoft Outlook® e-mail inbox, calendar, 
>tasks, and notes, balance their checkbook, and 
>manage spreadsheets. The PAC Mate Omni supports 
>Office 2007, including access to PowerPoint® 
>presentations. BrailleNote owners are still 
>waiting to get in touch with those features. 
>While they wait, PAC Mate Omni users are working 
>with a host of other features BrailleNote 
>doesn’t have. Features like bar code scanners 
>that identify and describe many common household 
>items, support for all Word documents, 
>Skype&#8482 Internet telephony, reference 
>materials like encyclopedias, dictionaries, and 
>recipe databases, virtual private network 
>access, and support for a broad range of network cards and other peripherals.

>“Since I became a PAC Mate user, I've used 
>numerous exciting features that the closed 
>nature of the BrailleNote prevented me from 
>being able to deliver to customers when I 
>managed that product,” said Jonathan Mosen, 
>formerly of HumanWare, now Vice President of 
>Blindness Hardware Product Management for 
>Freedom Scientific’s Blind/Low Vision Group. “My 
>PAC Mate Omni has become an essential tool for 
>me. Not only am I more productive on the job 
>because of features like the full 
>synchronization and VPN support, but it's my 
>accessible remote control for all our appliances that use a remote.”
>
>Mosen also said he likes how the PAC Mate Omni 
>gives him such a vast selection of entertainment 
>options and supports all common streaming media formats.
>
>“A closed platform can't possibly keep up with 
>all of the innovation being unleashed by 
>Microsoft and the many third-party developers 
>that write software for Pocket PC devices. I 
>have no doubt that once BrailleNote and 
>VoiceNote users get their hands on a PAC Mate 
>Omni, they'll be amazed at the world of 
>possibilities on offer,” Mosen said. “I can even 
>do high quality audio recordings on it!”
