I think one of the main differences is that this note taker has a braille
keyboard. I prefer a qwerty keyboard myself, but I know many people prefer
to use a braille keyboard.

Subject: Re: Sleek and shiny Mac OS X powered Notetakers
A couple questions:
1. What would be the advantage of this over the Macbook Air? I thought
the Macbook airs were really small.
2. Other notetakers such as the Pacmate or Braille Note don't have hard
drives. Instead, they use flash memory and it's not nearly as much
storage space as a modern hard drive. Would this notetaker be using
flash memory? If so, how would Mac OS 10 even fit on this memory?
Thanks.
