Hi, this is good to hear. Even though I now have an Apex and it
has become my main unit I still love my PK it is handy in some
situations where I can't take my Apex.
From Shaz
BN QT Apex and PK user.

Oh, from what I understand, the PK is still going to be
supported, but it just isn't going to be made anymore, meaning no
more new units being made but support will continue for the
already existing units.

Hi,
The specs of these two can be compared as though comparing an
mPower versus
Apex using miniaturization. As a connection to my site, if it is
true that
PK is not supported, then I intend to support it on my site
until end of
next year.
Cheers,
Jsoeph

I wonder if hw will use the new Baum product, whatever it is
called,
to make an updated pk? After all, the original PK is based on an
older
Baum device. Of course there is the Braille Sense On Hand, from
gwm,
which is basically the same as the pk but with much-needed
hardware
improvements.

Hi,
Hmmm, good observations. I wonder if there will be any SMA
upgrades to PK.
Cheers,

Well, I wasn't going to discuss this here, seeing as no one else
has
brought
it up; but, in the end, I just couldn't let the fact that
HumanWare have
stopped making the BrailleNote PK go by without saying a thing.
Now,
before
I go further, as Mike May mentioned over on the gps-talkusers
list, the PK
is still very much being supported, thus folks already having
the unit
don't
have to worry about it being maintained.
At any rate, although the PK and I have pretty much come to the
end of the
line, so to speak, it was practically my constant companion for
the better
part of four years. For, its compact size, along with its
eighteen cell
Braille display, not to mention the Sendero GPS option, made the
perfect
traveling device for me in almost every situation. The unit
could easily
be
tucked out of the way when not needed, I could have the
convenience of
speech when I chose to use it, or I could opt for the more quiet
and
discrete use of the Braille when the situation warranted.
Although I could never seem to trust its flash disk to stay
available as
it
should, the PK was a very wonderful device when it worked
correctly. It
was
the first device of its kind that I can recall, and I never did
regret
making the purchase.
