40 Cells of Refreshable Braille - Plus Bluetooth®
The New Focus 40 Blue from Freedom Scientific
(St. Petersburg, Florida - June 22, 2009) - Freedom Scientific
today
announced the Focus 40 Blue, the latest addition to its popular
Focus line
of braille displays.
The Focus 40 Blue offers 40 cells of refreshable braille,
Bluetooth 2.0 for
wireless connectivity up to 30 feet, a Perkins-style braille
keyboard, and
USB 2.0 support that also charges the unit when connected - all
in a new
compact package that is 40 percent smaller than the current Focus
40.
"The Focus 40 Blue gives you braille anywhere, on a wide range of
devices,"
said Jonathan Mosen, Freedom Scientific's Vice President of
Hardware Product
Management. "With 40 cells of braille, it's powerful enough to
do serious
work, yet its small size and handy carrying case make it easy to
take with
you everywhere. The Bluetooth connection, which runs for 20
hours between
charges in typical use, is great for working on the move with a
laptop
running JAWS®. Take your Focus 40 Blue to a lectern for example,
and run a
PowerPoint presentation wirelessly from your braille display, or
leave your
PC in your bag during your commute, and work with just the Focus
40 Blue."
The Focus 40 Blue is designed to accommodate everyone's braille
preferences,
with a range of navigation methods including WHIZWHEELS®, thumb
keys, and
rocker bars. There are 10 hot keys that can be configured to
perform
frequently used functions for maximum productivity. You can even
set the
firmness of the braille dots to your personal taste with
VariBraille.
"The Focus 40 Blue incorporates Freedom Scientific's seamless
braille cell
construction, so it feels like reading braille on paper," added
Mosen. "When
used with JAWS, the two rows of keys above the braille cells
support Freedom
Scientific's unique Braille Study Mode, an interactive tool for
teaching and
learning braille."
The new braille display will begin shipping in July and is priced
at $4,495
with a 2-year warranty.

Blue Web
