The site for this device is all in German. I had never heard of it until a
few days ago. However, English reviews seem to indicate that it does not
have the features of the BN; it has some different hardware, but not nearly
as much user storage or media slots as the mPower. There was also no mention
of a GPS or database program, and it just seems that the BN is a much better
machine. (I am not just saying that because this is a BN list, either.)

Alex,
I never hear about the Pronto notetaker. I surfed on the internet but not
find it. I wonder if you have the website address? I like to read more
information of it.

The GPS is a separate product that must be purchased and installed on the
BN. However, I know what you mean. A German company makes a notetaker called
the Pronto, and it is a really neat machine. It is the size of a PK, maybe a
bit bigger, but includes a GSM cell radio, wireless, a modem, and more. My
point is that one of its features is a reading of the user's compass
heading, surrounding temperature, and (I think) barometric pressure. I do
not know how they do that, but it must be some chip with external sensors on
the unit.
All I am trying to say is that it is possible.

I got an new idea but I do not know if it is possible. Could we add the
compass device and its driver into our BrailleNote family? Is it include
GPS? Is GPS already include the compass?
