Peggy,
We are pretty confident about getting the GPS working on the BrailleNote PK
and on the regular BrailleNote with Keysoft 6.1. The latter is an easier
task than the PK.
As I said in my last post, these products have been announced but they
won't be available for a while, plenty of time for us to get GPS working
with them. PDI is completely supportive of having GPS on these products and
we definitely want to see all our neat features and more on any new
"BrailleNote versions.
For Wendy's edification, the BrailleNote PK is the talk of the summer
shows. It is a state of the art, small PDA, which is running Keysoft. It is
an 18-cell unit with all the wireless bells and whistles. PDI says in their
press release that it will be out in the 4th quarter.
Our BrailleNotes will not be left in the wake either as a major Keysoft 6
revision is slated to bring our current units into the wireless age too.
One benefit will be that your Earthmate receiver can plug straight into a
USB port or USB adapter and there will be no need for the battery/serial
cradle.
We'll keep bringing you more and more benefits to location information.
Mike
