Hi Terri. Oh, you didn't like the music at the beginning? I thought long and hard about that music! But as long as you like the product...
1. We will update the manuals on the web site to include BrailleNote mPower, I don't believe they are up there yet. The audio presentation is not a tutorial, it's just to show you what's new. All BrailleNote mPowers ship with a CD which covers both BT and QT commands in an audio tutorial format. So you get more of me on there I'm afraid. 2. If you upgrade your software but don't do a Braille display transplant, you will not get the audio recorder, streaming media, Bluetooth, USB, and SD support. Obviously there are a lot of things we can do to KeySoft that are not hardware specific, but it is certainly true that the SMA releases for BrailleNote mPower, because of the hardware, can be much more delicious. 3. Absolutely. We've continued to make improvements to KeyMail and the fast processor makes one heck of a difference. KeyWeb, similarly, is updated and faster. There is basic handling of pop-ups now, an add link as favourite option, and general stability improvements. 6. 6? what happened to 4 and 5 <grin>. KeyWord is much faster, see Jeff Molzo's excellent post about his use of BrailleNote mPower. 7. After a transplant, we keep the old unit. So it's a trade-in of sorts.

What I heard sounded fine, except for the music at the beginning. Now, I'll jump in with some questions: 1. I prefer a QT keyboard but the audio tour didn't give any QT commands. Is there an onsite manual I can look at? 2. If I choose to upgrade my software but not my hardware, what features would I lose? 3. Do Keymail and Keyweb work better than they do in 5.1 or 6.1? 6. What improvements have been made to KeyWord? 7. If I should decide to transfer my braille display to an MPower, what happens to the old unit? I guess that's about all for now.
