I liken the PK to a general small hand held PDA and mpower to more along the lines of a laptop. Keep in mind that I am not directly comparing each unit to mainstream technology but rather giving a general analogy for understanding their intended audiences and a simply way to decide what it is you really want before digging into the nitty gritty of specs.

In terms of size, mPower is larger than the PK. The PK is like the size of a modern Pocket PC, whereas MPower is the size of a handheld PC. In order to really see them at real life situations, you'll need to see them firsthand at the trade shows and assistive technology conferences. In terms of technical specs, MPower is a bit faster than PK (400 MHz versus 416 MHz). The memory in mPower is 64 MB RAM/128 MB Flash, whereas in PK it is 40 MB RAM/16 MB Flash. For intended market: PK is designed for busy professionals who wants to have a feel of Pocket PC with the familiar KeySoft interface, whereas mPower is designed for ordinary and power users who want more functionality on a small device.
