I have connected my BSP to my PC to transfer files and I'm so glad the PC
will recognize the BSP as another drive, so I don't have to mess with
ActiveSync. I wonder if the Apex has this capability.

From what I know:
user storage: matched (8gb)
ram: matched (128mb)
size: Apex is smaller (.78x9.8x5.5)
display: matched (32 cells)
controls: same as always (bsp has the media keys while Apex has the thumb
keys, but Apex now has a scroll wheel, which no one knows much about at
the moment)
USB: Apex has 3 ports for external devices and one port for use with
activeSync and such; bsp has, I think, 1 of each type
Wifi/bluetooth: matched (built in, except I am not sure what the standard
on the bsp is; Apex has bluetooth 2.1 and b/g wifi)
SDHC slot: matched (yes on both)
wired ethernet: yes on both
VGA port: yes on both
CF card slot: Apex does NOT have one, I am not sure about the bsp
keylock: Apex does not have this
FM radio: yes on both
replaceable battery: yes on both, though prices are unknown
LEDs to display status: bsp does not have this, but Apex has one for
bluetooth, one for wifi, and one to show charging/discharging status
processor: roughly matched (I think the bsp is at 520mhz, the Apex is
533mhz)
Operating System: bsp runs Windows CE 5.1 (I think), Apex runs Windows CE
6; this removes many limitations on the Apex as far as multi-tasking goes,
plus opens the door to future improvements like supporting powerpoint,
Office 2007 files (not just Word either), and PDF files.
Software has not changed; Keysoft has not gotten any major new features,
at least not that HW has announced. If it is like the mPower release, Apex
will run a new version of keysoft, updated only to support the new
hardware, but with no new features. The next keysoft release will likely
be for PK, mPower, and Apex units. Those of you who remember may recall
the mPower coming out after ks6.11; it ran ks6.2, and the next release,
ks7.0, was for both the classic and mPower units. Hope this helps some.
Have a great day,
Alex

For people on the fence about which product to purchase, I'm interested
to
see an updated comparison chart on the GW website, or is someone able to
draw distinctions here?

Trust me, it won't be Humanware! People are still waiting for
SDK there!
I'll be surprised if otherwise!

Well, that's what I thought of (that GWM will directly compete
with HW now
that Apex is here). Now the question is, "who will be the first
company to
release SDK for their respective products?" The release of this crucial
thing will determine who wins in the end (wait till early next year...)
Cheers,
Joseph P.S. I am forwarding the actual announcement to HIMS
list in Korea
(well, students there are taking Korean version of SAT today...

Hello all!
I see that the competition finally came up to the real world with the
announcement of their new notetaker the Apex! Based on what I
have seen,
I'm still loyal to GW Micro. I think the Braille Sense Plus
and Voice Sense
have better support and one can't beat the streaming audio available to
them. I think one can turn it on and write something down more
quickly as
well! The Keysoft is still being used in the competition
product! If the
Braille Sense Plus can be kept slightly under $6,000, I think
GW Micro has
the market!
Thanks to Don Bishop, he gave me a site to listen to XM Radio
on my VS. It
works great! One must have an online account with XM radio.
If you have
that, go to:
http://mobile.musicdock.com
Simply log in with your XM info and you are good to go. Look
for link you
wish to listen to, press enter and you will hear your content! The find
command is your best friend.
