Alex, The CE software itself is stored on Windows folder on the keySoft System Disk. In PDA terms, keySoft System Disk is called Main memory. There is a hidden file called wince.nls. I'm guessing this is the CE's kernel. Also, you'll see some unusual dialogs. This is the KeySoft's implementation of the graphical dialog boxes on the regular PDA. Some of them are security dialogs, wordpad converter dialogs, and so on. Yes, KeySoft is built on top of Windows CE. My speculation about operating system upgrade (if Mr. Riden have some comments) is that HumanWare has to license the OS itself from Microsoft. When HW receives license to use Windows CE (say 5.0/Windows Mobile 2005), there is another task: to write and compile KeySoft for that operating system. While it has added advantage of upgrading the BrailleNote family of products to support 802.11G, WPA encryption, and so on, the task of programming, compiling, testing the hardware/software might take a while. My summary is not a bias towards anybody, but my own speculation relating to Windows CE and KeySoft. I don't know what PCB is, but you might be correct. If you have any questions, contact me off list. Joseph Lee Skype; joslee22590

I forgot about that. Oops. But I do not understand something: why does it take so long to upgrade CE versions? I have not seen any adaptation of CE itself--stored on the KS System disk are everything from unused programs to .gif images that no BN can use. This indicates (perhaps wrongly) that CE is not touched, rather the KeySoft version that runs on top of it. If this is true, why does it take years to move to a new version of CE? Don't get me wrong--I love my mPower and cannot wait until it comes back (I accidently snapped the USB slave port off the motherboard). I just want to know. Alex P.S. Does anyone know what a PCB board is? That was the delay in my BN--they had to wait for one to be delivered before they could fix my unit. Is a PCB my motherboard? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joseph Lee" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Braillenote List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 25, 2006 1:36 PM Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Network info (was: Suggestion forConnectionSelection) > Alex, > A general reminder: at this point, Windows CE 4.2 does not support > 802.11G standard (802.11N is being standardized).
