Hi there Don. I do think that a strong case can be made for a utility that synchronises between BrailleNotes, however this won't be something we'll offer at BrailleNote PK release time. You're correct that the simplest way to copy files from one BrailleNote to another when ActiveSync is not an option would be to use a compact flash card. I have an inquiry in with our R&D team regarding whether you might be able to use two BrailleNotes in ad hoc wireless mode to transfer information from one to the other. I would have a use for that too. So hopefully I'll be able to get back to you on that. Hope this helps.

If I were to buy a PK, I would want to use it as a highly portable extension of my Braillenote. Now let me make it clear, I have no PC, nor have I plans, or indeed the room, to house one. Thus, if I write letters or any documents on a PK while away from home, in what ways can I get these files on to my Braillenote back in my office, in order to work on them, print them, emboss them, etc., I suppose one obvious way would be to save the files on to the PK's cf card which could then be put into the appropriate slot on the Braillenote. Am I right in thinking that a cable connection would not be possible as the PK has no serial output, and indeed the usb port will accept but not transmit data. (pardon my crude terminology.), or am I wrong? However, it crossed my mind that, as the PK is to have full wire-less connectivity, and the Braillenote with its additional card, will also have this facility, will it be possible for me to send my files by this means, thus saving constantly having to remove and replace cards. I suppose one could always use an email linkage, but I find that this method often plays havoc with the formatting. I apologise Jonathan for taking your valuable time, but, for me, these are very important, though possibly rather basic points.
