Yes, certainly I couldn't do my work recording information with a phone and braille device, it wouldn't be fast enough or sufficiently flexible for wordprocessing speedily.

Hi PaulYes indeed they do, I enjoy both for different reasons and, as you say, in different situations. It is nice to have a choice and be able to make an
informed decision. Kind regards, Jackie Brown Emails: jackieannbrown62@xxxxxxxxx thebrownsplace@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Twitter: @thebrownsplace Skype: Thejackmate -----Original Message-----From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of

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?

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.
