I like the idea, but I would like a combination of both;
powerpoint presentations and the media center are both important
to me. I would like to see a basic BN unit--mPower, but maybe
smaller?--with basic software (wordprocessor, planner, address
list, email, calculator, and file manager/utilities). This unit
would cost much less than the current ones because of its lack of
features. Once a person decided to get one, they could stick with
that package or, for an additional cost, start adding things:
GPS, dictionary, internet, games, book reader, media center,
powerpoint builder, expanded wordprocessor, IM/VOIP, and whatever
I missed/did not think up). In this way no one has to have
features they never use and the cost could come down because
people would not have to pay for features they do not need.
Have a great day,
Alex

Subject: [Braillenote] Some thoughts:
What about this?
A Braille note standard which would be the mpower as we know it
with all the
e-mail word processor and all the nanny things like the fm radio
media
center etc etc.
Then a Braille Note Professional with a full range of Microsoft
outlook
features including the ability to do presentations without a
second pda
device, no fm radio or any of that, and a highly evolved
calculator program.
All machines would have skype and instant messaging and the
professional
model would have state of the art financial program.
The Standard could run with the Nemath code tutorial or whatever
that thing
is and all the school things elementary and secondary students
would need.
A fully comprehensive program should be in place so that a
student, when he
finished secondary level could easily trade in his unit for the
professional
model and oh yes, a fully functioning dictionary which is
collegian level
would simply be built-in just as the word processor is today.
There should be easier cell phone installation and the ability
when in gps
to simply point to a phone number and be able to call from the
keyboard into
the Bluetooth cell phone.
Just my thoughts.
