Yeah, well the difference is, the BN is pretty much dependent on apps
developed for its proprietary Windows CE system; while the PacMate can use
many off-the-shelf applications through its version of Jaws.

IMHO, there are advantages to both systems.  Its all in the beholder, as
they say.  I think the BN is still a bit more user friendly; but I know
others will strongly disagree.
