Pack mate is not able to compare with them considering it's way bigger and way expensive.
But only things this doesn't have Pack mate does is a GPS.Other than that the Braille+ is far superior. But I'm speaking from the very first pack mates, I don't know how good they've gotten now. The Braille+ runs on Python, so one is aloud to program their own aps and do what ever they want if they know the Linux kernel. One doesn't need to know Braille either, both Icon and Braille+ have a phone keyboard, the docking station is extra batteries and a qwerty keyboard and the Braille+ has in addition to the phone pad a small Braille keyboard. If you are interested in buying an Icon I can check with a friend and see if they are still selling theirs. (both icon and docking station were around $900 together). If you'd like an extensive review of the Braille+ you can either look up the YouTube videos on how to use it and or email me off list and I can tell you about this marvelous device!

Wow! Its a lot cheaper than the pack mate two! How would you rate the pack mate when compared with any of these two products? May the peace of God which passes all understanding guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. God bless you!

Mixing Engineers Handbook in text form? If someone has the PDF they could email it to me and I can convert it to .txt or .doc. I have the latest version of Kurzweil 1000. We aren't aloud to share Bookshare books, so if you'd like to get any of their hundreds of thousands of books I'd advise signing up. My favorite reader is the Braille+ Mobil Manager from APH: http://shop.aph.org/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_Braille+%20Mobile%20Ma nager_1-07450-01P_10001_11051#content or the Icon from Levelstar: http://www.levelstar.com/store/Icon/ If those links don't work just paste them into a web browser or google levelstar or Braille+ Mobil Manager and you'll find them.They have 60 GB of hard-drive and around 1 GIG of ram, (going up soon). Theyare about 6 inches long and 4 inches wide and one inch high when laid down flat, so it's way smaller than a Braille Note and with about 30 times the capability of the victor Stream. It would be nice if some people in audio production came in and had them re-format the sound recorder as it can record in really high quality. (but it has some funky ways of telling you you're clipping...). Anyways, It's really easy to get DOR to perches this for you as it's the only PDA of its kind. Hope this helps and please let me know if you have any questions!

Mixing Engineers Handbook in text form?Are you in the US? If so, go to www.bookshare.org and read about it. :) Daisie is a book format and you can get various hardware or software players that support it. The Victor Stream is an example of such a hardware unit. Chris At 01:28 PM 12/12/2010, you wrote:What is book share and where can I get a daisy player?
