Something I need to add,
The cell phone will be available in about a year, and if you get a unit
now, or soon, you will be able to send the unit in for an upgrade. The
same thing goes for GPS.

Well, right now, the problem is cost. I can't afford to buy the
expensive equipment, being i'm a single parent dad of 3 children.
*smile* Even as a home maker, I have so much use for a braille
notetaker/portable device: for everything from keeping track of my kids'
doctor appointments, and special events and activities, to entertainment
such as reading books from web braille. But, state agencies all say
that raising my children is not a viable occupation, therefore i'm not
permitted to have adaptive equipment until i am in school with a full
load and my kids are all in the child care system for roughly 14 hours a
day. lol *smile*
About how much does the braille plus cost? is it based on the windows
mobile operating system like the pac-mate? Is the cel modual for GSM sim
cards for T-mobile and AT&T wireless?
With All Respect,
Upshaw, Lamar T

The pacmate really is great, but in a day or 2, the Icon will have
support for books from audible, and the National Library Service. The
Icon is half the size of a Braille Lite, and about 1/3 thinner. Also,
Blue Tooth and USB display support is coming soon. If you don't want to
have to braille with your thumbs or text, you should look into a Braille
Plus, sold by the American Printing House for the Blind. It is
absolutely identical to the Icon, but it has a Braille Keyboard on it.
Levelstar and APH collaborate, so both companies are helping with the
development. I am typing this email on the Braille Plus. Another
advantage of the Icon and Braille Plus over the Pacmate is that they are
cheaper, and with the Icon or Braille Plus, the Wireless and the Blue
Tooth are built in. There will be docking stations soon, RFB&d support
soon, and a cell phone mojewel also. If you are interested, you should
visit the Levelstar website
at:
www.levelstar.com
Or the APH page at:
www.aph.org/tech
If you have more questions about the product, you should subscribe to
the Icon Discuss list, by sending a blank email to:
icon-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
And put the word subscribe in the subject line. There is also the Tech
list for development questions, a beta list, and a announcement list. If
you want the subscriptions for those lists, let me know. HTH, Chase On
