Hello:

I'e have some of your answers:

About the MPower:
1. Will my Spanish software transfer over, or will you guys make new 
multilingual software for the Mpower? I need the multilingual software, its 
vital.
A version of the Spanish  software will work, but there is another beta tester 
on this list who can give more info along with Humanware.  I do know that it 
was tested.

2. VR just bought me GPS for my BN, if I transfer my display, will the GPS also 
transfer/? They won't buy it again.
The GPS is related to your serial number and not related to your Braille 
display but, you would have to talk to Sendero  and they've promissed us more 
information sometime next week.

3. What is an SD card and how is it different from the microdriver and 
compactflash cards?
An SD card or  secure data card is a very small memory card that's just a bit 
bigger than a postage stamp and  about as thick as a credit card.  It can hold 
incredible amounts of data, I've worked with cards holding up to 1gb.

4. Can I hook up the archos MP3 player to the MPower?
I don't know about the Archos .mp3 player, but I have my Archos portable hard 
disk hooked up right now and it is working great.  More space than I'll use in 
a while.  If your using it as an mp3 player, I don't know.  If you're using it 
as storage, it probably is compatible, though I don't think we've tested that 
configuration.  I think the Hard disk drive does use the same drivers though.
5. Can the Mpower play audible files?
No, not yet, but we're hoping

6. Do I use the ambicom card to get wireless on the Mpower?
Yes, that is the same configuration I use and it works great.  I very rarely 
hook up a wired Ethernet connection any more.

7. Can I hook the display to the computer wirelessly, as well as activesink 
wirelessly?
No on the display, and yes on ActiveSync

8. If I can't update, how long till the BN is obsolete?
Jonathan and Humanware have committed to continuing to support the current 
BrailleNote/VoiceNote technology.  They've said that they will continue to 
release  software for that platform.  Obviously, software that's designed for  
the upgraded hardware wouldn't work like BlueTooth
