[gps-talkusers] Re: having fun with the BrailleNote PK

Dave,

We currently have a limit of 12 states loaded at once on the BrailleNote. 
We can probably load more on the PK but I am not sure if there is a 
pressing need to do so.

Unfortunately, there isn't a VoiceNote PK nor a QWERTY keyboard version.

We don't tend to speculate a lot about what is possible. Sendero is a small 
company and we choose our projects carefully and keep a narrow focus.

We certainly share your wish to have our GPS running on smaller and less 
expensive units but we also don't want to sacrifice functionality.

Considering that version 3 came out in July and GPS for the PK and Keysoft 
6.1 will come in early 2005, I think we are progressing at a pretty good 
rate. Stay tuned for what comes after that.

Mike
