You need the sd card of the proper size no matter what, ever since ks6.2
was released on the mpowers. Which upgrade you are doing does not matter.
Have a great day,
Alex

Thank you so much for letting us know that. I was under the
impression
that you have them just by wishing it to happen. We should have
realized
that producers of other note takers had somehow more time than
HW folks.
Sorry hw, I will keep converting my word file in to txt to use
on my bn,
it is not your fault, after all you did not have enough time.

do you understand what it takes to upgrade the OS of something
like the
braillenote? did any of you have to upgrade a classic from 5.1
to 6.1?
it's not something you just say lets do it. it takes a lot of
time and
work to make sure it goes right.

I agree on all points. A Windows CE upgrade has been long over
due,
which
will have many benefits, such as access to Word 2007 files,
actual
support
for Bluetooth and many other things.. For example, here at
college; the
only
format that is used is Word 2007, which is not at all supported
by the
BrailleNote. I have been a great supporter of the BrailleNote
and have
done
Beta Testing for HumanWare in the past, but where is the CE
upgrade? For
this very reason, many have migrated to other platforms, such as
the
Braille
Sense Plus, Braile Sense, Voice Sense and PAC Mate. Yes, it is
great
that
there is support for BookShare once again, which I along with
many
others
should have been in the form of a patch. Yes, it is also great
that
there is
support for Audible, NIMAS and other such things but this
shouldn't have
been the main focus. The main focus should have been upgrading
the
Windows
CE OS< which has been promised by HumanWare for two releases
now,
KeySoft
7.5 and 8.0.
This is almost like forcing everyone to still run Windows 98 or
2000,
while
the rest of the world is using XP, Vista or Windows 7 Beta!

Hi All:
On initial read and from reading other comments on this list, I
have
just a couple things to say. First, I am pleased that Keysoft
8.0 will
support the new BookShare site, even though I still believe this
should
have been released as a patch.
I am disappointed in three things. First, KS8.0 doesn't include
a
Windows Mobile upgrade. As someone else said, this is going to
not
allow the BrailleNote to be as powerful as its competitors. The
Pacmate
is already running Windows Mobile 6; I do not know what version
the
Braille Sense is running.
Second, folks like Nicole and others have asked for better word
support.
While I realize this is in part up to Microsoft to help make
happen, I
would appreciate hearing from HW on what plans they have to
enhance Word
support, particularly with Word 2007 being in use more and more,
and why
it appears that nothing has been done to incorporate better word
support
into KS8.0.
Finally, there is no mention of Keymail supporting direct access
to HTML
e-mails. And, how long have we been asking for this?
Thanks,
