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.
