this is what I've been trying to explain. the BN is not meant to run 100 percent alone all the time. it needs a computer to help it with some things.
if you want something that does that, then yes a net book is your choice.

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

Alex, you're most knowledgable! 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.
Peter.

I am going to say...  no way.  They have already said it will be
one sma count, so a ce upgrade is not going to happen, and they
have never done anything extra, no matter the delay.  I would of
course LOVE to be completely wrong, but from trends in the past I
would say that nothing beyond what we have already been told will
come will come (the sentence works if you look at it for a
minute).  All this is just my opinion; I have no inside track or
anything, so don't quote me to hw when you charge the gates
demanding the upgrade with extra features in exchange for the
incredible delay.  <smile

Have a great day,
Alex

Wow...  Fall of 2008, February 2009, April 2009, June 2009, now
August of 2009? Come on!! Just a status update would be nice, but
all this silence and then the users having to ask tech support,
who aren't allowed to say anything about upcoming releases
anyway, for a timeline of a product that is nearing a year late
in coming? HW's PR team really needs an overhaul, in my 2-cent
opinion.

Have a great day,
Alex
