[Trainer-Talk] BrailleNote Classic and mPower questions

[Scott Davert]

Hi Wayne.
Maybe just copy some of the files and then move some others? No, the mPower will not work with the iPhone, this is only available with the Apex in the BrailleNote family of products. The BN touch is not able to do this, and the classic along with the mPower, have bvoetooth technology that ,$ too obsolete to support a BT connection with the iPhone.

Hope this helps,
Scott
