Hi,

I don't think that's what we're discussing.  My argument is that considering
the amount you pay for these devices, they are basically based on 1990's
software.  Windows CE on which all of the note takers are based, will lose
Microsoft support in about 2016 anyway so it's academic.

All the best

Steve

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,

Jackie Brown

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.
