And, to add my 2 cents, I'd much rather have the dictionary included as part
of the BN than the games or the radio, neither of which I use (well, the PK
does not have the radio) I echo the others who have said that they'd rather
have the features of the BN that are used for note-taking, reading, etc.
made better and enhanced than have more "other" features added on that are
of limited appeal at best.

I personally think the oxford dictionary should have been made part of the
brailleNote instead of being a separate install and running on the
compactflash card. Most of the time, unless you are looking up lots of
words
at once, the dictionary is only used for a few minutes and then closed
until
the next time someone wants to use it. Yes, the dictionary is awesome, and
I'm glad I paid the extra I had to pay for it, but I really think, given
the
size of it, it should have been made part of keysoft with the games and
radio and such. I can understand why sendero gps is separate, both because
of the size of the maps and files needed to run it, but also because the
people who want gps will probably be using it a lot more and for longer
periods of time each time it is used compared to the dictionary.

Hi Orhan:
What about those of us who don't want or need a multi-lingual
dictionary? Sounds like an optional feature which those who want can
purchase and those who don't want it do not have too. Kind of like the
Oxford Concise dictionary. This all gets back to a suggestion I've made
in the past that Humanware should offer suites of products for the
Braille Note family so people can pick and choose what they want,
similar to Microsoft's suites of products.
Thanks,
