I was one of the first people on the list to get my braille display transplanted from my old calssic braillenote into an mpower and I have not regretted it one minute. Given the faster processor, 8 times more storage space on the internal flash disk, the ability to listen to audio files in sterio, the audio recording fuctionality, access to usb devices, access to bluetooth devices such as bluetooth gps receivers, the ability to store data on sd cards, and better web browsing along with the ability to listen to streaming audio, I couldn't resist. Even with all that said, there is more the braille note offers. When I was a student last semester, I was sitting in class next to another blind student who had forgotten his braille lite. He needed to use a braille display to read his notes for his presentation. Well, he had his presentation on his laptop. I told him to email the presentation to me which he did, received the email on my braille note with the attached file, and gave him my braille note to read his notes during his presentation all because of the great email handling and the wirless access available in the braille note mpower. I've just found so many uses for my braille note mpower such as connecting to the internet via bluetooth with my cell phone while away from home and the office where wireless internet is available. Not only that, but the additional features coming in keysoft 7 just amazes me especially when I look at where the braille note was a year ago at this time. So, I am extremely glad I when ahead with the upgrade to the mpower and wouldn't ever think about looking back.

Do you wish that you would have stuck with the Classic? I am reading about so many issues. If I could afford it, I was really thinking about buying myself an MPower one day, but listening to all of those issues, really makes me think.
