Antonio,

1.  DOS programs can't be run on the BrailleNote, as the BrailleNote uses
Windows CE, which is a sort of slim line version of Windows optimized for
portable devices.
2.  Traditional Windows programs can't be run on the BrailleNote, as the
processor used in the BrailleNote isn't a standard X86 processor as found in
your desktop or laptop computers.  Also, as the only "standard" readily
available Windows CE consumer platform, or, at least, the only platform for
which we're seeing applications written, is Pocket PC, you can't run what
you might call "standard Windows CE software" on the BrailleNote.  As a side
note, myself, I'd enjoy seeing a talking Handheld PC (H/PC), but my interest
there is purely esoteric, and based mostly on the notion that I hate the
idea of a platform I can't develop for solely on the basis that nothing from
that platform talks.
