Re: XY on a smartphone?

I'm typing this in XyWrite now on my iPhone. Now I'm going
to try the dictation function. Now is the time for all good men to come
to the aid of their party. Wow! Not only did it work but I am dictating
this evaluation of it right now.


 I'm able to do this, by using TeamViewer on both my computer and my
iPhone. After I jumped through a few hoops, I was able to log onto my
home computer with TeamViewer. And my home computer is set up to allow
TeamViewer to take control of it from my iPhone.


 It's really amazing, I haven't had to correct any of the
transcription made from speaking in this text.

Well, after several hours of experimentation (and playing Space

Invaders -- a blast from the past!), I did finally get it to run

XyWrite 4 + XYWWWEB.U2 on my PC (WinXP). It was slow, and the

keyboard was spotty (especially the num pad), but to my surprise the

U2 frames that I tried did work. (And the STARTUP.INT produced by

PORTABLE.PM worked like a charm.) Since it was barely usable on a

PC, I assume that Xy on a phone or tablet is out of the question for

now. But the potential seems to be there. I hope JPC will continue

to be developed.
