The Braille+ and iCon software is available as soon as you turn the units on. -----Original Message----- From: icon-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icon-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Richard Fiorello Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2008 12:27 PM To: icon-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [icon-discuss] turning the unit on Hi; When initially turning the unit on, does it run immediately or does the software have to run first? If so, how long must you wait for the software to run so that you can start using the unit? The voice sense folks made a point of emphasizing that their unit runs immediately when you turn it on which leads me to suspect that the braille plus may not. There is still a rather large unexplained difference in price.
