i know I am missing a lot, which is part of the reason I am sending this
to the list instead of privately; I know that Raul and others can fill
in what I missed or got wrong. The bsp is scheduled for release in a
month or two, but I do not know prices or anything. Hope this helps.
Oh, obviously Sendero's gps solution is available for both, so they will
both work with receivers authorized by Sendero. As to high-capacity sd
cards, large-capacity cf cards, usb device support and so on I am not sure.
Have a great day,
Alex

Alex, could you write me off list and give me a rundown of what
I'd have with the Braille Plus? Is that what you called it?
Anyway, what I'd have that I don't have with the MPower? Not
that I can afford to buy anything, but I'm curious, so that when
and if I ever have money to buy someding different I could make a
wise choice? I bove my Mpower except for a few things that drive
me crazy--like connecting to wifi. When it's good, it's
wonderful, but een it ain't, it's awful! BLESSINGS, Debby
