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

I compared what pulse data's site said about the size of the braille =
note pk
verses what freedom scientific's web site said about the size of the =
braille
n speak.  From what I found, it seems that the braile note pk is about =
the
same size as the braille n speak.  That itself is impressive to me since =
the
braille note pk has an 18 cell braille display and the braille n speak =
has
no braille display.
