Hi Peter and list, Alex is correct in this case. All I want to add is this: just I have been stressing it lately, BrailleNote is not a PC replacement - it is a PC companion, folks. You need to realize that developing for this type of embedded devices is not an easy task, particularly when it comes to operating system overhaul such as between Windows CE.net 4.2 and Windows Embedded CE 6.0. For those who are wondering as to what's new with CE6, I suggest that you investigate the Internet for more information. Sorry for harshness... but I had to say something... Cheers, Joseph

Can a CE upgrade happen without anything needing to be done to the Braille Note unit, the mPower? In your opinion, if the answer is yes, then why would HW not been doing it? Peter.
