[access-uk] Re: Upgrading notetaker

Hi all
I'm using the VoiceSense, little brother of the BrailleSense that comes without a built in Braille display but that supports the Sync Braille portable display. 

Got it from: Force Ten Co Ltd

in the UK.



I also use the BrailleNote mPower and find the VoiceSense much faster.
Most importantly, the VoiceSense did exactly what it's specs claimed it would out the box. 
Already did 2 upgrades via WiFi online without any problem.
It supports 5 modes of connectivity, 16GB CF and SD cards, daisy/mediaplayer/radio, MSN, browser, word processor, database, scheduler, address book, email, web browser,bluetooth manager, a variety of utilities and option settings and context sensitive help. 

OS = Windows CE 5.0.
Multi tasking is seamless.
Provides about 10 hours work per charge.  Quick re-charge.
Comes with protective leather case, inbuilt microphone, headphone socket and mini USB port.
Small and low weight but with ergonomic Braille keyboard; 9 keys plus 4 function keys and 4 arrow keys on top panel and media control keys on front panel; the latter accessible when case is closed. 

If you need more info let me know.
