Terri, I noticed your comment about the braille note possibly being dropped. Quite frankly, I wouldn't care if they did. I love the Braille Note but let's face it, having something that you can hold in your hand like the Maestro or Icon, or something that can fit in your pocket like the Voice SENSE or a PDA phone running Windows Mobile and the Mobile Speak screen reader...that's the future. I'm not even looking at the Wave CD player; I'm looking at the Stream MP3/DAISY player because I want a pocket sized player that can work with the new NLS books - and the BPH Flash player is not going to cut it. Personally, if I had the choice, I'd not even consider the Braille Note and just get the Maestro or pop Mobile Speak onto a cell phone from my wireless provider. Also, this is just my two cents, but I think that by now the PCMCIA card should have been removed for a WiFi card. I understand how it's difficult to put one in, since technology changes so much, but I know for a fact that the PCMCIA card that the BrailleNote takes has been replaced with a card approximately 1/2 that size and the only thing it's being used for is an external Wireless modem from Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile, or AT&T.

I'm not going to spend a penny more. I'm not going to buy something new immediately, but I'm going to be interested in seeing a demonstration model of GW Micro's notetaker. I know that the time will come when my BN will no longer work and when that happens, I'll buy a notetaker from someone else. It wouldn't surprise me if HumanWare dropped the BN altogether in favor of other products such as Daisy players and modified PDA's and modified cell phones. No, I don't trust HumanWare anymore.
