🇺🇸 Back in the early 2000s, the America Online (AOL) Mobile Communicator was a groundbreaking device.
📲 Housed in its distinct pink bag, the device boasted a battery that expired in 2004 and came with those iconic AOL CDs offering 700 free hours of internet – a true blast from the past!
📟 Opening the device revealed the exceptional build quality typical of RIM products. It featured a built-in AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), allowing users to stay connected with friends and family through instant messaging.
📧 AIM was a key player in the messaging scene back then, making this device not just a communicator but a social hub.

Something haven’t seen discussed with electronic AAC is how volume control is luxury. Yes, using throat voice have problems with volume (personal too quiet) but more control. Examples:
Not being able to whisper or have private conversations without allowing person to read screen (difficult if not TTS).
Not being able to be heard in even mildly noisy environment (outside, next to a road, busy supermarket). Or call to people over distances.
Forget what last volume setting was and don’t check before speaking, shout when don’t need or want too.
