Different devices work better in different circumstances don't they?

Hi John, Steve et al

There are advantages and disadvantages to using a touchscreen device versus a bespoke note-taker. For me, the advantages of an iOS or Android device are universal updates, more choice, size and cost. The advantages of a dedicated note-taker are quick access to features like word processing, one
unit instead of two to carry around, and better battery life.

I like a mix of both to be honest, perhaps some old habits die hard?


Kind regards,

agree steve as progress is made in main stream the dedicated devices get left behind every time. the only thing i really love about the sense is the satnav and the ability to write out a document very small device with good braille. the internet on the us 2 is very fast but very restricted so wonder which would be the best way to go. the other plus with a dedicated device is batry life. but say tellorion got loads more apps if also it could run on more devices but again you must then use a phone and a braille device but i do feel the life of a notetaker for the blind is very much in the late
summer so to speak.

i do know now that i am using my iphone and the tellorion lots more than my pc. this could spark a very big long debate on this topic but yet a very very important one. again the big advantage with a dedicated braille notetaker is the writing down in braille is so much faster than on a touch
screen.

Hi Chris,

Not only that, the Twitter clients on these dedicated devices is so primitive. No muting, no filtering, I could go on, but I won't <Smile>.
But
you pay thousands for these devices and get second rate software on them.

All the best

Steve

Hi,

This is why I don't like these darned dedicated devices. If Twitter
gets
up
the spout on a phone or tablet, you'll get an update in hours, not days.

Rant over.

All the best
