I guess the obvious question is why will it never happen? There is no
reason why the programmers could not make the pk act as if it were a little
computer. Just because people classify the bn as a PDA doesn't mean it has
to be limited by necessity. PDA's, themselves, do things differently
depending on the price you pay for the unit.
But again, why will it never happen that the bn cannot act more like a pc?
What aare your reasons for making such a statement?
What the bn does or doesn't do depends on what PDI decides is important to
implement.
If older braille units had a way to dial numbers, why doesn't the bn have
this feature? Easy. PDI decided it wasn't important or a feature that many
folks would use.
Why can't we click on a url within email or copy an address from an email
easier? Who knows. But there is no reason other than memory limitations
that these features and many others could not be implemented if PDI thought
they were necessary.
Why not?

It is a PDA, and all PDA's suffer from limitations that do not show up
in a PC.
Sure, the product should be improved, all products should. However, if
you expect the Braillenote or any other PDA to behave precisely like a
PC, it will never happen.

And I agree with you and I feel the same. But instead of improving the
products they got, they make a new one and rave about it being the best
thing since slaced bread and leave us pk users in the dust.
Sounds like a company we all know and love

I have also noticed in general, not only in email, the block
commands
menu does not work in places that a regular computer would allow you to
paste things. Two examples are the find and replace and creating files
and
folders. I know there are more, but I can't think of them at this
moment.
