I couldn't have said things better myself. In fact, except for mentioning that the PK doesn't have the FM radio or the SD card slot, Richard mentioned all of the things I was readily thinking of, and then some. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Turner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "'Braillenote List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, November 18, 2006 7:59 PM Subject: RE: [Braillenote] introduction
Hi, I find the PK the best for portability. I have access to all the note takers because of my job. But, for me personally, the size of the PK out-weighs some of the features you give up. Having said that though, as a student, you may find the mPower more useful in many situations. For example, if you have an assignment for a teacher, and you have a thumb drive, you can save it as a Word document on that thumb drive, hand the thumb drive to the teacher and they can copy it onto their computer. It isn't as easy to find people with a CF card reader, but all computers these days have usb ports. Also, you can stream audio on the mpower, but you cannot on the PK. If you need to listen to something over the internet for school, for example. Or, if you need to print something and you aren't at a computer, the mPower will print to USB or serial, or Bluetooth or even infa-red enabled printers. The mPower has more internal memory and is a tad bit faster at downloading e-mail and such. But, the PK is great because of the size. Much easier to carry around. It does pretty much everything else. I know you didn't direct your question to me, but I thought you wouldn't mind another voice on this subject. The best thing is if you can get some hands on time to see which you like best.
