It will not work with any SDHC cards, no matter what. Some 4gb sd cards are not HC, but all HC cards are 4gb or above. The bn can recognize, I have heard, up to 32gb usb drives; support for usb devices is based on the brand, not the capacity, whereas with sd cards it is based on the capacity (since the high capacity cards are litterally made differently inside) and not on brand.

Have a great day,
Alex

Hey, guys,

   Just as a side note... I have a 500 gigabyte western digital hard
drive. My braille note m-power recognizes it. Why it wouldn't
recognize a hc USB drive or SD card is beyond me. I've used an
8-gigabyte thumb drive before with no problem, too. I wonder if it's
just certain brands that don't work?

Hi Melissa,
Great ones (in my opinion). I personally prefer support for SDIO cards...
As for printers and UsB flash drives, I think the USB standard that is used on the BN family should be upgraded. I believe printer problem can be fixed
if using generic HP driver (for HP). For USB thumb drives, yes, I think
faster uSB standard...
Some of the other things that I want to see:
* More mainstream support - Word 2007, Powerpoint 2007, common database
format (.cdb), mainstream chat protocols and so forth.
* A way of writing useful programs (not just games, of course) for the
BrailleNote (I and other programmers will continue to advocate for it).
As for other suggestions i.e. OS upgrade, hardware and so on, I will not
comment on it anymore...
Cheers,
Joseph

Today I bought an SD card and when I put it into the sd slot, it didn't show up as one of the drives. Then I reset the braillenote, and it still didn't show up. I think I know why it doesn't work. I think that it's because the
sd card that I have is a high capacity one and unfortuately it's not
supported on the mpower. It would be cool though if it were. Here are some
things that I think need improvement.

1. support for SDHC type of cards. The braillenote would be able to
recognize these types of cards so that you could have more memory.
2. more wireless support. Being able to use different wireless cards
depending on what router you get the signals from or even from another
wireless card.
3. printer support. Being able to use some of the newer printers to print
from.
4. more USB flash drives. Ones that can go up to a lot of memory and would
be able to be recognized by the braillenote.

If any of you out there want to say something, you can. Or add anymore
ideas, you're more than welcome to.
