Hi Chad and others; Thanks for your explination. When I first saw the PK, I did not like the keyboard. In my opinion my hands are large and I think there are to many keys on it. They may all have good purposes but I do not want to make errors. I love my Braille Note. I still have a lot to get comfortable doing, but I have you all to help me out. I am still waiting for my braille manual that the CAP program promiced me. I sure can not wait until it comes. Then I can read and then do what the book says, right on the spot. Bye for now. Terry Powers

When one sees the increased connectivity features of the BrailleNote Pk over the BT, notably the limited USB port, wireless, and bluetooth connectivity, the potential 30+ hours of battery life compared to the BT's 20+ hours, stereo listening of mp3s with headphones vs. the BT's mono, and other differences, it would seem easy for one to conclude that the BrailleNote PK is the next generation of the BrailleNote BT, thus rendering the older model obsolete in favor of the PK. When I mentioned this to Jonathan Mosen a few weeks back, he insisted that the PK is a new member of the BrailleNote family of products, and by no means is a replacement for the BT and QT models, as they will be receiving wireless and bluetooth connectivity in the future. When I mentioned this potential confusion on the part of a customer to Rich Krafsig, one of Pulse Data's representatives here in the U.S., he said that the PK differs from the BT in that, because of its small size, it may not be as comfortable to write Braille on it for long periods of time as compared to the BT model. While this helps a potential customer to understand how the two devices differ, perhaps something should be mentioned either in the PK's literature or in the FAQ section of the BrailleNote web site. In this way, consumers will be able to compare and contrast features of the two products and make an informed, educated decision on which to purchase.
