The BN's upgrades are free, the BN doesn't crash all of the time nor
loose
data, the Spanish software is 10 times better on the BN than the PM. The
BN
isn't made of cheap materials like the PM. The PM can use pocket windows
software such as pocket Word, it can play Audible books, the GPS is
cheaper,
I'm not sure if it can get viruses, You can download different software
programs, etc.

Well, I've heard this same tale from other customers about Humanware. So
this doesn't say a thing. It's just one opinion versus another. I hear
that Humanware gouges you on prices. their Brailliant displays are more
expensive than other vendors products. that's just an example. their
resusal to send me a braille manual via free matter for the blind is
another example. so you see, this line of discussion goes nowhere. It
proves nothing. If you don't like a product, I wish you would give more
concrete ideas so others can learn something. I see advantages in both
units and that's a good thing I think.
I traded my last Pac Mate because I saw something I wanted more. I am
happy with that trade.
the Pac Mate has instant messenger now. It can be used with a tty for the
deaf-blind. the gps for the Pac Mate is a heck of a lot cheaper than for
the Braillenote.
the upgrades for the Pac mate are free!!!!!!!
they're not cumulative either!!!!!!!!
I think you get the point. Show merits for a product. As I said, I see
good points in both products.
