Richard, APH and LevelStar will each market their own branded versions of the Icon and Braille+ follow-on products. The Levelstar versions will be known as Orion. There will be 2 LevelStar Orions, one sporting an 18 cell Braille display, and the other one featuring a phone numpad instead. Both Orion versions will sport highly ergonomic integrated Braille keyboards. There will be no LevelStar-branded Qwerty keyboards dedicated to Orion Braille tablets. I apologize for the distressful info trickle ... Before you know it, it will be summertime ... and your thirst for Orion info shall be quenched (grins!) G. Guido D. Corona Levelstar LLC. 685 S.

I have been looking at the competition and have been more than a bit shocked by how much larger the other units are. Do we know if and when the details of the new icon will be released? The bits and peaces way this is being announced is somewhat troubling. Also, will there be any means to purchase the unit with a braille key board directly from level star? The novelty of dealing with two companies for any service issue has warn out long ago. I do hope little things like the news stand and rss program will be retained. Although you can do rss and newspapers with other units it looks like its far more difficult. -- richard If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
