It has built a Web-based video communications unit filled with features for the hearing impaired.

The unit not only displays a signing person, but it also shows a second feed of the other signing party so both communicators know who is speaking when. Better yet, the units are portable and can function with PC-based versions of the same software. This all sounds straightforward enough, but these features are advances in the world of enabling technologies. Sometimes it takes people who can't hear to actually listen.



so will let us know when its ready to selling!
Phillp, I knew its not for free already, thats what most deaf people expect for free! but its not FREEE, toobad! if they looking for free, get Soreson VP or Ojo vp, then.

I am a little confused.. I just now read this web, CES 2008: Best tech for and by small businesses - Viable VPad (3) - FORTUNE Small Business saying that it costs approximately $399.00. But if you checked out YouTube - VPAD as seen on FOX NEWS and you will see that the owner's son stating that it'd be FREE to the Deaf and HoH communities and won't sell the VPAD for a while.

it said approximate on price, it didn't mean it's official, since you don't see on Viable's information that mention the price yet.

I had done a researched on it. I agreed with you that it is not ready. I know there is a question whether it is costing us or free? I called the Viable support service through VP this morning. I asked them with many questions. One of them was about making a payment on wireless card? They said it was not needing to make a payment because it comes within VPAD that included bluetooth. If traveling somewhere and does not have WiFi in the area. You can use your SK LX with bluetooth or any other pagers that have a bluetooth will works along with it. I asked them if it is free to get a VPAD and they said in the gray area "if I downloaded a Viable program in my computer and use their VRS services" and it can be getting a free VPAD or not???? The support service person told me about it and will announce it in the email sometimes next week. It was a small world that I knew this person from other state and moved to another state and it was wonderful to chatting with my friend working for this company.

whoa, you're not understand about tech thing.

First, bluetooth isn't kind high bandwidth stream in air from device to device. And Second, they're tell you to use viable VRS often enough to make them money then you get free, probably in 6 to 10 months later.

I don't see anything about bluetooth on this.

Viable can't give people an incentive to use their VRS to get something free. It's against the law, and Viable would lose money if they did something like that. That's why HOVRS no longer gives their "brown bag" free VRS rewards, or why Sorenson cannot require that you use their service or else they might take away your VP.

Is the VPAD free?
The VPAD will not be free. We plan to announce pricing and distribution information very soon but we intend for it to be affordable.

Why isn't the VPAD free?
The VPAD was designed specifically for VRS users and is not an off-the-shelf videophone. Not only have we invested in the technology, we are also investing in customer support. Everyone who purchases the VPAD will be entitled to warranty coverage and technical support. VPAD owners will have customer rights superior to what they currently receive from distributors of other videophones.

Viable VPAD

Does anybody know anything about the Viable VPAD? I have been reading about it on their website and I heard it will be sold at the DeafNation Expo's for $99! I would definitely get it for that price. I can get Sorenson for free but then I am stuck in one place to make phone calls. The VPAD is wireless, I could take it anywhere in my house! That's worth $99 to me. Unfortunately I heard the price is $699 for if you're not at the DN Expo. So maybe I will go to the nearest Expo, all the way in New Jersey...still cheaper to drive there than pay $699!
