It's off topic, but unless you have to do serious typing, you can use the
pocket pc and Mobile Speak without an external keyboard; also there are some
very compact portable Bluetooth keyboards that open up to full size when you
need them.

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.
