Well, where's the lag? I understand the stations, but that's it. What braille shortcuts?
I mean we got 1.1 at same time and everything, so I don't know.

hi andy,you're right, 10 gb is not that big a deal. that wasn't the
reason i posed
the question. in fact i said i didn't think i would need it.
but simply
wanted to know as the braille user to this side of the unit why
there was
such a lag with the exception of the upgrade to the units since
they have
both been out. and tha't not an unfair question!

dunno, although I thought that the brailleplus was created by
APH? Sorry for
that message--it was quite early in the morning and I can
sometimes be a
little grumpy in the mornings... I wasn't trying to offend
anyone. And
yes, I love braille too, and if I didn't know it, lets just say
it'd be
chaos. Maybe APH is at work on trying to get 40 gigs into the
units right
now. But honestly 10 gigs isn't that much of a big deal for
me--might be
for othehs--in that case just get a usb flashdrive. Not as
portable, I
know, but still excellent.

hello, No, i didn't have to buy the braille plus. that's neither herenor there asit begs the question. the product has been thought of as ablindness relatedproduct. reglardless of when the braille plus was developed,they're stillthe same units. for your information, i got the braille plusbecause i readand write braille, and am very proud and glad i know it. so, i simply wanted to know why there was such a lag time forthose of uswho love to use braille.

Want to know why) The braille plus was not in development as longas icon.I think they're doing an excellent job considering they're, what,a yearapart? Also, you didn't have to get the braille plus. and 10gigs makes nodifference at all to me--if the upgrade is available for thebrailleplusI'll get it, but otherwise I do not mind.

hello, if this sounds confrontational, i really do not mean it to be.jenny said inher message that the upgrade costs does or shall i say she doesnot think itapplies to the braille plus users though i'm making the choice tospend mydollars elsewhere, i wonder why the braille users of this unitseem to lagbehind everything having to do with this product, whether its thedockingstation, braille keyboard shortcuts and now the hard drive.we're alwayshaving to wait.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but as far as I know, LevelStarwants tokeep the price the same, no matter how tiny or gigantic the harddrive is.

I'm not sure if this has been responded to yet (as I usuallydon't read allthe stuff that comes in; there's too much of it) but I checkedthe websiteand the 40 GB HDD Icon still sells for $1,395. ----------------------------------------From: llumpkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: icon-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [icon-discuss] Re: 40gb hd?

Jenny, Do you know the cost of this to the customer? Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jenny Axler" To: Sent: Saturday, April 05, 2008 3:13 PM Subject: [icon-discuss] Re: 40gb hd?
Yes, new Icons currently have 40 GB hard drives. And yes, youcanupgradeyour unit. If you choose to do this, you'll send your unit in,theywill place a 40 GB drive in your unit, and will send you your 30GBdrive back in a USB enclosure which can then be used as anexternaldrive, and canbepowered with Icon.
Please note: right now, this only applies to Icons. As far as I know, Braille + units still have 30 GB drives. Jenny
