Dear Corey:

The pro's of the BrailleNote are:

-it doesn't lose data from its flash disk even if the battery
runs flat;

Designed from the ground up for blind users and especially of
Braille;

Reasonably simple to operate and when you get to know the
commands say for formatting text, pretty darn quick to use.

Reasonable battery life.

Can use SD, Cf and PC/MCIA cards.

Support list full of friendly people who know what they are
talking about generally, and selected Humanware staff participate
regularly on the list.

Disadvantages:

Only uses two different wireless cards, one discontinued and the
other scheduled to be discontinued in the foreseeable future.

Closed system: You cannot add applications to it from most third
parties.

Uses only one brand of low power Ethernet card;

Only works with certain printers and some it is supposed to work
with only work by serial or Parallel port, not USB;

Cannot be used as Braille Display for a PC using USB port, must
use serial or blue tooth only.

If you can live with the above limitations, then buy a
BrailleNote Mpower!

If you can't, go check out the features and limitations of the
neighbours.

Brian
