Sendero GPS expands to another platform with the upcoming release of Mobile Geo.  Mobile Geo is a GPS navigation application for Windows Mobile-based Smartphones, Pocket PC phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) to be released by Code Factory in a few months.  Combine the power of Sendero GPS with the convenience of your Windows mobile device.
 
Along with Mobile Geo, Sendero will be providing a sneak preview of Sendero GPS features in the next version. Sendero now powers accessible GPS on 3 platforms as well as distributing one other. It is no longer a matter of “should I have GPS”, it is a matter of, “which GPS is appropriate.” To learn which GPS is right for you or your client, come to a show or go to http://www.AccessibleGPS.com for information and links to all accessible GPS products.

Reviews For VIP MUD version 1.0

Date: June 16, 2008, 12:21:02pm

user: JamiePauls
computer: 2.66GHz Pentium 4 512MB RAM
operating system: Windows XP Home
screen reader: Jaws 9.0, Window-Eyes 6.1
rating: 5
comments: I have recently been playing with VIP Mud from GMA Games. MUD stands for multiuser dungeon. MUDs are similar to text adventure games except that they are played on the Internet and often involve game play with other people. Although many muds involve magic and other Dungeons and Dragons elements, not all do and the VIP MUD documentation gives some resources for finding muds. It goes without saying that VIP mud is designed for visually impaired users as are all GMA games. Visit magames.com for a 30-day demo of this $30 game. Incidentally, the game can be played indefinitely for free albeit with some options missing. A screen reader is not required, but you can use your screen reader of choice while working in VIP Mud.
