feature for me as a college student I would not
be able to use a small computer that I can carry over my shoulder.

little reason to spend more money for a product
that is a closed proprietary system when you
can have the same functionality and much more
by getting something such as a macbook air, or
another small laptop. And the notetakers are
way behind the times, I think the last update
to the human ware products introduced support
for reading PDF files, you've been able to do
that on main stream computers for years. In
short, the blind notetakers offer nothing that
you cannot do on a small portable laptop and
braille display for a cheaper price.

I don't mind reading emails on my iPhone but I
always write emails on my computer or BrailleNote.

fully expect the BrailleNote and Sense GPS

consuming information and especially for
efficiently writing and researching. When it
comes to figuring out destinations and giving
driving instructions to a friend or cab driver,
I will be using my PK. In other less time
sensitive situations where I am just following
a route and wanting basic LookAround information, the iPhone GPS will be great.

everyone's wish list for an iPhone app.

Mike?s presentation will be recorded and
accessible to those who are not able to attend
the convention. I?m currently at Carroll Center
for the blind as an instructor for a program
dealing with access technology and my
supervisor, Brian Charlson, and I were talking
about the seeing eye gps last night? He attended the focus group at CSun. Hope

universal functionality of a notebook computer
but the iPhone pretty well includes most of
that now along with a phone and perhaps soon a
fully functional GPS solution. Awesome.
