I would agree Rick, and they are to be admired for letting the public know what is really going on. Wouldn't it be nice if more companies were the same way.
Meantime, can someone give me the address for the Icon Braille Plus mailing list. I am now using one all the time thanks to a loan from our state vision teachers. I really like the Icon Braille Plus, but still hope that a less expensive solution will still come along for those who cannot afford the Icon Braille Plus for too long.

Pam,That is really sad news as I was really holding out on not getting anything else and looking forward to the BP2. I really do appreciate the honesty andstraight forwardness of your message however and am glad APH is being straight with us.

Unfortunately, hardware problems with one of the suppliers has put an unavoidable delay in the process.We now expect that Book Port II will not be available in the near future. Itis difficult to predict with any accuracy when the newly redesigned device will reach the marketplace. APH will do everything in its power to reduce this time to market, but we want to be honest with our customers and allow them to make plans.
