Jonathan,

  Hope you are better.  I would like to clarify PDI's policy re the bn and 
interfacing with the main-stream.

  When I was shopping around for my PDA (then called only a humble note-taker) 
one of the factors which influenced me was PDI's claim to having a policy of 
making, as far as is practicable, the bn suite of products able to interface 
with main-stream innovations.  Now, I understand that this is not always easy 
or possible, however, as time goes by (and I have had my bn for more than 2 
years now) I see less and less evidence of such an attempt.  For example, the 
GPS seems to be tied to one set of pre-bought maps, this is not the case for 
other PDA's and is causing, as we have seen on this list, great problems for 
bn-GPS users.  Also, wireless connectivity (which, if I remember correctly, I 
have already paid for with my SMA, as it was promised for the first upgrade in 
that agreement) However, now we seem to hear nothing about this.  Again, this 
will cause increasingly, more problems, especially for the students using the 
bn.

  These are just two areas of interfacing which are falling short, I am sure 
others can think of more.  Could you, therefore, tell me if there has been a 
change of policy, if the policy was ever truly intended, or, if I was mislead 
at the outstart?

Thank you for all your responses
they are very much appreciated,
Slaan,
Sandy.
