Hi Alex, To address your question of size. A Braille display can't get any smaller than it already is. The cells have to be a certain size to conform with Braille standards. While it is possible to make the Braille keyboard smaller, hence the PK, a standard Braille keyboard is the same size as that on the BN BT. Have you ever seen a BN QT? It is the same size as a BN BT, and incorporates an entire QWERTY keyboard which has been made compact by using smaller keys and placing them closer together. I can't honestly imagine how one would make a BN, particularly the QT model, any smaller than it is and still keep it usable. Your thoughts are of course welcome, and I'm curious to see how you think this might be possible.

Hi all: I have a BN MPower BT, running KS 7.0. My friend has a Dell PDA with built-in Bluetooth. Does anyone know where my friend can get a hyperterminal program for his PDA so it can act as a visual display for my BN? While on the subject of that PDA, and this is mainly for Humanware staff that may see this, I have a question that has been bugging me for years. What makes the BrailleNotes so big? This Dell PDA has Bluetooth, WIFI, the same ram and flash memory as the MPower, CF and SD slots, a speaker, a microphone, and so on. It is about 4x6 inches, and not quite an inch thick. Why can't a Braille display, the USB ports, and a Braille keyboard overlay that type of PDA? Sorry for rambling, and don't get me wrong: I LOVE my MPower.
