the problem is being able to get propper knowledgeable support from a dealer within the UK. If the product breaks down can you get it fixed here or do you have a few weeks delay while it goes back to a factory abroad to be fixed?

It claims to support some 35 languages though. Would be interesting to get feedback from users. From the Papenmeier site: " Rock-solid Linux software and complete productivity suite BRAILLEX ELba uses a Linux based operating system. Although most users will never "see" the operating system, they will take advantage of its advanced networking capability and its rock-solid applications. BRAILLEX ELba comes with a complete selection of productivity tools all of which are available from the control center. The set of applications includes a word processor, email, Internet browser, address book, day planner, scientific calculator, spreadsheet, voice recorder, and document reader. ELba was the first notetaker to offer a built-in MP3 player. ELba also fully supports the Bookshare file format (US version only!). ELba is the first blindness product to include a built-in game interpreter. So if you want to work, communicate or play, ELba has everything you need!" More info at: http://www.papenmeier.de/reha/products/braillex/elbae.htm The very best to everyone for 2008 and beyond.
