[gps-talkusers] Re: Question regarding GPS and BN/BN PK

Hello Steve,

At this time it is still too early to predict what GPS solution will be 
offered for the BrailleNote PK and the new updated 6.1 for KeySoft.  We are 
trying to get a BlueTooth GPS solution but ran into some technical problems 
which may require an update to KeySoft to allow BlueTooth GPS.  Sendero is 
working with PDI to figure out a solution, and both companies are working 
hard to provide the best solution for our customers.

Sendero is hoping to get the BrailleNote GPS version 3.0 onto the Alpha for 
KeySoft 6.1 working this week.  So as you can see at this point there is in 
not much I tell you.  We are working on it and as soon as we know what we 
can offer our customers we will let you all know so you can make an 
informed decision.

Thank you.
