WELL, a braille keybord is smaller, and for braille proficient people
who want to write all day, or for braille litterate people who want to
take a quick note, braille keybord is the way to go. Since it seems
this thing is going to be modular though, I guess any one could have
what ever combination of input and output options they want.

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.
