Hi Rob, I agree with the things already said by Martin. In addition, the PK does also have an all purpose serial port, which allows such things as ActiveSync and being used as a Braille display for your computer. But, note that you are not able to print documents from your PK, as you are able to do with the mPower.
As for the size comparison, the Braille n Speak and PK both weigh about a pound, while either the 18 or 32 cell mPower are going to weigh over two pounds, with the 18 cell weighing less of course. The PK is the smaller of the units, with its dimensions being 17.4cm x 9.2cm x 3.2cm/6.8" x 3.6" x 1.3" The Braille n Speak is kind of in the middle with its being 8 inches by 5 inches by 1.25 inches. And, finally, the mPower is the largest with all the BT and QT Braille models being 25cm x 15.5cm x 5cm/9.9" x 6.1" x 2" Note that these dimensions were taken directly from the products respective web sites.

From MY understanding here's what I've gathered about the mPower and PK as to what you can and can't do: With the mPower you can use an FM radio, have an option of Eloquence or KeyNote Gold speech, have the option to use off the shelf USB peripherals (such as flash drives etc.), have expansive storage via CF, USB, and PC card slots, allow for USB connection between your PC and the BrailleNote for a terminal mode, AS WELL AS bluetooth. All those things I've just listed, as far as I know can NOT be performed with the PK. Am I right? Also how much bulkier is the BrailleNote mPower when compared to my 1993 Braille 'n Speak? My only real true keep-interest for the PK is it's size, but that's about it. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Any questions?
