Sarah,
Gwmicro does not offer a payment plan for any of the hardware like the
bs. If this were the case then I would jump on the band wagen for this.

Hi Joesph,
Thanks for all that great information! Now if I could pay for it on
a month to month payment plan for a year or a little more, I would
probably upgrade.

Hi,
I don't know about the payment plan, sorry.
As for changes that you can expect, it is mainly hardware. No
change to
software. As for hardware, you'll get:
* As opposed to BS ORIGINAL, BSP IS LIGHTER AND THE KEYS ARE LAPTOP-
LIKE
(according to some people in South Korea) and much quieter
(according to a
reviewer of BSPQ, WHICH IS THE QWERTY COUSIN OF BSP).
* The LCD DISPLAY IS SOMEWHAT LARGER.
* Instead of one cursor movement button (called scroll vbutton) on
either
side, there are now two of them on either side of the Braille
display (you
can set them independently from each other, like whiz wheels on PAC
Mate
series).
* The processor is a bit faster (Intel (now Marvell) X-Scale PXA270
AT 520
MHz versus PXABLEBEE AT 400 MHz).
* There are 128 MB OF RAM AND 8 GB OF Flash. Also, there is an SDHC
SLOT AND
a CF SLOT (INSTEAD OF TWO CF SLOTS) SO THAT YOU CAN USE BOTH CF AND
SD
cards.
* There are two additional switches and a redesigned power switch:
one is
for audio mode switch, another being a key lock switch. In order to
turn on
the BSP, YOU NEED TO PUSH THE POWER SWITCH (ON THE FAR RIGHT SIDE
OF THE
front panel) to the right side.
* There is now built-in IEEE 802.11G WiFi chip and a Bluetooth chip
that
supports file transfers and allows you to use Bluetooth headsets. In
addition, an FM RADIO CHIP IS ALSO INCLUDED.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: [GWN] QUESTION ON PURCHASING THE BRAILLE SENSE PLUS
Hi Folks,
I was wondering, if one wanted to upgrade from the Braille Sense
original to
the Braille Sense Plus, is there a monthly payment plan so you
wouldn't have
to pay for everything at once? I'm curious, because if there is
such a
thing, I would seriously think about upgrading. Also, are there a
lot of
extra changes and programs added to the BPS FROM THE ORIGINAL? Just
curious.
Thanks for anyone's answers.
