Okay, here you go:
PK: released in 2004, this Braillenote was Humanware's version of a Baum 
product. It has been discontinued.
Pac Mate: A few versions of this Freedom Scientific notetaker have been 
released, but the line has been discontinued. It was a very large device that 
never caught on as well as the other major notetakers.
Apex: a full-sized Braillenote that Humanware released in 2009. No mini version 
of the Apex exists, though it does come in a full-sized 18-cell configuration.
Braille Sense On Hand: a smaller version of the Braille Sense Plus, with 18 
cells and upgraded hardware for its time.
Voice Sense: an older Sense notetaker with no braille display, released before 
the On Hand if memory serves.
Braille Sense U2 Mini: a smaller version of the U2, with up-to-date (for a 
braille notetaker) hardware. This product is only just getting started, but is 
the smallest notetaker with relatively good hardware available.
