Hi Will and All, Well I have the PK and am quite happy with it. Its small size makes it very handy for traveling and storing and the like.
As for the features, well, right off the top of my head, I can't think of a lot that the PK has that the mPower doesn't. Well, didn't either Dean or Jonathan say that the mPower doesn't have the ability to store large email attachments on the storage card, as that is not needed with the much larger size of the flash disk of the mPower? Now, as for features that the mPower has that the PK does not, well, seeing as the mPower is meant to be the kind of power PDA and the PK kind of meant to be used in conjunction with a PC, I can readily think of several things it has that the PK does not. The mPower has a much larger flash disk, can stream audio content such as from ACB Radio, can record audio (although I believe the PK is supposed to be able to do this at some point), has two USB host ports in addition to the client port so the mPower can be used for ActiveSync like the PK but also can work with the USB hard drives and thumb drives and the like, one can hook the mPower up to a printer and print documents right from the mPower, the mPower has a slot to accommodate sd cards, the mPower still has the slot for the PCMCIA cards, the mPower has a 56k dial-up modem built in, and the mPower has an infrared port that can provide another option for using ActiveSync or using cell phones to connect to the internet or receive em ail. >----- Original Message ----- >From: "will" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected] >Date: Sun, 4 Sep 2005 11:43:28 +0100 >Subject: [Braillenote] Pk and M power? >hi >I know the braille note PK has eighteen cell display and is smaller than the >m power, but is there a real difference between which product to purchase? >By reading the features, it seems as though they can both perform roughly >the same sort of tasks >which is better in terms of feature set in peoples opinion? >regards, will >___ >To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit >http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
