If you people want these features, get a pacmate! It can do most of the things you are all talking about. However, I would wait until the pacmate omny came out before I purchased it. It sounds fantastic! I am mentioning this to say that if you want the BN to do this stuff you obviously do not understand how the BN is developed. It takes time for Humanware to write these applications and there is only so much a closed platform like the BrailleNote can handel currently.
I am not saying iether is a bad device, I like both of them, given the choice and the money I'd own both BN and Pacmate. I say you all just wait until Humanware release there next keysoft and I'm sure some people if not all will find something useful in it.

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.
