Ottawa Canada Yes it is difficult to keep up with changes in technology.
In order to give the BrailleNote family wireless connectivity which I take it you mean over a cellular telephone network, there would have to be a hardware mod to install a cellular telephone transceiver in the units. This would be another drain on the battery and worse, you would have to put in a transceiver for both GSM, the cellular system used around the world except for Canada and the USA and CDMA the standard with a bunch of carriers in Canada and the USA. To make it even more interesting, The GSM carriers in the USA and Canada don't all use the same frequencies and the rest of the world uses still another frequency! And there are three CDMA frequencies in use too. It would be much better to accomplish Cellular Connectivity through the use of a CF or SD or PC/MCIA card that was compatible with the BrailleNote family of products. That way you can buy the card appropriate for your carrier in your part of the world and if you roam elsewhere, just buy the appropriate card for where you will be going. I realize this is a bureaucratic and wordy answer, but the world just can't seem to standardize on just one Cellular Telephone specification. Brian -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
