The BrailleNote PK has 18 cells. This is the new "mini" BrailleNote which will be released very soon.

The other term you used, is that the same as a black berry. My staff use black berries. When I went to convention, I did not even realize that it had fewer braille cells. I will stick with my 32 cell size.

Presumably, these people have to connect their PDA's to a PC and print from there. The BrailleNote PK is the closest thing a Braille reader has to a PDA, given it's small size and versatility, and I don't see why it should act fundamentally different than any other PDA. Also, a thirty-two cell display would make the unit much larger, thus defeating the reason for the PK in the first place.

I'm also concerned about what it looks like to sighted people, especially if I'm dressed up. As far as the design of the BN PK goes, it wouldn't fit my needs for several reasons: (1) I prefer a QT keyboard and I like it built-in; (2) it won't emboss; (3) with Keysoft 6.1, my BN will do everything I need; (4) my present BN is portable enough. The BN Pk may suit some people, but it wouldn't suit me. And I think it would suit more people if embossing and printing features were added. Also, I wouldn't want a display smaller than 32 cells.
