What’s New in PAC Mate Omni 6.1 Featured in Live Online Conference with Jonathan Mosen

(St. Petersburg, Florida - August 04, 2008)

Jonathan Mosen, Vice President of Blindness Hardware Product Management for Freedom Scientific, will share information and show off the new features of the PAC Mate™ Omni 6.1 on Tech Talk, an online conference operated by The Accessible World. The show takes place Monday, August 11, at 8:00 PM EDT (0:00 GMT Tuesday). Anyone with a computer that has Internet access can attend and participate in the session. Those with microphones can interact audibly with the presenters and others in the virtual audience. The interactive conference requires no password and is free.

During the presentation, Jonathan Mosen will discuss how the PAC Mate Omni accessible Pocket PC is available in models with either Braille or QWERTY input – with or without a refreshable Braille display. Out of the box, the PAC Mate contains a wide range of essential tools for school, work, and home, and can be extended further with the installation of widely available third-party Windows Mobile® applications.

Jonathan will demonstrate new accessibility features of the PAC Mate Omni that are a first for notetaker technology, including universal contracted Braille entry, support for a range of commercial eBooks as well as PDF files, and expanded navigation quick keys on the Web.

During the session, questions and comments will be taken from the virtual audience.
