Yes, they both use Windows CE6 (Joseph can tell you more details about that).
The Apex and Braille Sense are pretty evenly matched in terms of processor and
ram, though the U2 is a bit better. Still, lack of functionality like .docx
support, dropbox, rss, Twitter, and more is not related to the physical
capabilities of the hardware or software, but rather to the simple fact that
Humanware hasn't added them. They could, but they haven't, and who knows if
they ever will. Some features may not work on the Apex due to its hardware,
such as voice chatting, but even that is just a guess and it could as easily
turn out that HW has just not felt like adding that either. In short, some
features are limited by hardware, but a great many are limited only by
Humanware itself, and we have no clue why they (Humanware) would do that.
