My only point was that he was asking for a transfer software to be able to 
transfer books from PACMate to BookPort, and I am suggesting that if such a 
software were developed it should be able to be used with any of the many units 
coming out with Windows Mobile 2003, 2003 second edition or Mobile 2005.  That 
would cover PACMate and many others with one software.

: yeah but then with mobilespeak pocket don't you have to carry around a qwerty 
keyboard?
: And the last time I played around with a pacmate with a braille keyboard it 
was slow in responding to key presses and things like that.

: >Can we be a bit more general about your request and say have a transfer 
software that will work on Mobile Windows PC 2003 or later, including Mobile 
2005.  MobileSpeak Pocket has just released a version of their software that 
will run on the new IPAQ's that are running the new Mobile 2005 operating 
system, which is newer than the operating system on the PACMate.
