Not to put a bad name on the PK, but I cannot think of any
advantages the PK has over the mPower. The PK is an incredible
product, and does what it was intended to do: act as a tiny
Braille PDA (small for its hardware, anyway) and then be
suplemented by a computer. The mPower can much more efficiently
combine many functions of a computer and a relatively small PDA
in one package.

Hello Daveed:
I don't know why you couldn't do Spanish and things like that
on the pk. You are correct in saying it doesn't have the
memory,
though I generally put information on my compact flash card,
anyway. If you are using a Gps, the size of the pk is
wonderful.
With the pk, the battery doesn't need calibrating. If you are
planning to emboss or print, an mPower is what you'd want. If
you want the radio, or mp 3's, you'd want the mPower. I guess
it
really depends on what you want to do. I'll be interested in
your choice.

Subject: [Braillenote] PK Or MPower?
While the PK is very appealing, due to its small size, I
hear from several
MPowere owners that the latter has significantly longer battery
life, much
more flash memory, is more powerful in general, and isn't that
huge to
carry around. What would folks recommend for a blind radio
reporter to
carry around, given the constsraints of the PK? I would also use
the unit
with GPS, of course. Another advantage is that I could read and
write
Spanish documents with the MPower, I'm told, and that this
wouldn't be
possible with the PK.
Thanks for any comments/recommendations.
