You also lose:
printing and embossing
playlisting
Eloquence speech (which is slow on the mpower anyway
sd, host usb, infrared, dial-up modem, serial port, and pcmcia
slot
option of 32 braille cells
microphone jack (you only have the built-in one
audio streaming (maybe
option of a qwerty keyboard on the unit (you can still attach an
external one
more that I am forgetting
You gain:
extreme portability
not too much else, but that is one very large plus
Have a great day,
Alex

Kim,
The main selling point for the PK is portability. The PK does
have some
differences because it doesn't have the same memory, memory card,
or USB
port functionality. It has a USB port, but it is a lient port.
It only has
capability for compact-flash. And, the Keysoft software for the
PK doesn't
have some of the features that you get with the larger and more
powerful
Voice/Braille notes. I can't think of everything, but one thing
is no FM
radio, for whatever that's worth. You still have a voice
recorder, media
player, word processor, database manager, scientific calculator,
etc.
I find that the loss of those functions to me isn't a big deal
because of
the lighter weight of the PK.

Hi- All recommendations quite welcomed. Right now I use a
braillenote 32QT
M-Power with my sendero GPS software, but lately I've been
contemplating
switching to a braillenote PK because of its size. So I would be
quite
appreciative with anyone's true evaluation of both, why I should
select one
over the other: other than just its size. If I gave up using my
m-power is
there anything I would be gaining with the PK, or lacking with
the PK.
Actually the only thing I don't particular care for with the
M-Power is its
weight. Thanks in advance to all comments.
