Hey, Guido, I think I remember that the Orion-18 will not have a number pad, that would seriously hamper use, especially if a phone is ever implemented, will there be a way to attach an accessory keypad when desired? Thanks. Beth
Original message:
Stacey, Orion 18 will be approximately six and a half inches wide. It will be a little more than four inches deep from front to back, and its thickness, including keys will be barely greater than one inch.
Orion 18 Braille keys are quite a bit larger than those on BP, and they feel very comfortable to my long fingers.

Hi, how big will the Orion be? How much will it weigh? Will it have full sized Braille keys?
Have a blessed day, May God be with you,

Okay, I'm assuming that the Orion, like the Icon will have usb connectivity. I have used my Icon to copy NLS books on to an NLS cartridge many times with complete success. I do have one of the extension cables required to do that. Actualy they're available just about anywhere that sells usb cables. You want what's known as an extension cable. Very often these are sold for the purpose of extending things like a usb printer cable or a scanner cable. they have a slightly larger end that will recieve the flat usb connector that fits in to a usb slot normaly. You just plug the cable in to the external usb port on the cable that attaches to the Icon, plug the other end of that cable in to your cartridge, and the Icon will say Usb disk one found, and there ya are! I know for sure this is possible with an Icon, and if the Orion is going to have external usb connections like the Icon there's no reason at all this won't work. Hope that helps.
