Thanks Joseph. Your unlimited knowledge is valueable. I am looking for the
future of the M-Power and most people are still stuck of the current
moment.
You do not know what could or could not happen in the future with the
Braille note neither do I. I am just putting a suggestion into the vast
upgrade suggestions. I am being critized though but, even Einstein was at
first. He proved everyone wrong to. These are my thoughts alone and nobody
elses.

This is Joseph. Technical comparison between laptop
and Pocket PC/Windows CE device:
Most laptops today run standard Windows operating
system, where as Pocket PC/Windows CE device like BN
runs a slin down version of Windows, known as Windows
CE.
Laptop processors, for example, Intel Pentium 4, is
similar to desktop counterpards, but it is designed
for portability. But Windows CE devices have
sompletely different processors, such as ARM, Intel
XScale, etc.
Hardware is also different. All laptops these days
come with 2 or more USB host ports. By contrast, most
Windows CE devices doesn't even have a single USB host
port (the exception is mPower.). Today's scanners uses
USB to interface with the host computer. That is the
crucial reason why it is impossible to implement such
a feature.
I hope this information may help you. (last thing:
Windows CE devices are designed as PC companion, not
PC replacement.) For further information, contact Dean
Jackson or Jonathan Mosen directly. Thanks.
p.s. Thanks for that issue, though.

..Processors in laptops are on the order of 2, 3
gigahertz. By contrast,
the processor in the mPower is about .45 gigahertz.
*No*, they're not the
same thing.
