The BrailleNote series of handheld computers, including the BrailleNote PK, are handhelds for the blind and visually impaired. The PK is Windows CE-based and includes:
- Bluetooth,
- USB,
- WiFi,
- Internet Explorer,
- POP3 email, and
- office productivity applications.
The unit is 6.8 x 3.6 x 1.3 inches, a bit larger than a large index card. It weighs one pound. The downside is that it costs $5000.
