As someone who has used the PK since it first came off the assembly line, perhaps I can help. (Granted, until recently, I have not used it to its fullest capacity on the web, etc.)

But, the first thing is indeed the size. It is amazing what can be done with something this small.
The main differences in features in my opinion are:
1.  Two USB slots for other devices like hard drives, floppy drives, whatever.
2. an SD Flash card slot in addition to the PC/MCIA slot and the type 1 compact flash slot.
3.  128 Megabytes of memory.
4.  The ability to record audio and stream audio on the web.
(Apparently, some time in the not too distant future, the PK will also record, but it won't ever stream audio.)

I have not gotten my hands on an mPower to check out, but from all the reading I have done, I think those are the main differences. Everything else they both have in common, I think. I'm sure I probably left something out that others can fill in.

Hi Folks:

I have a bit of a quandary. I nead to understand the differences between the mPower BT18 and the PK version of the Braille note family. I understand the size issue. Any help would be appreciated all over the place.
