Could
Not agree more Jackie,
As I said I would take a look at the new devices that Humanware are bringing
out.
It all depends what you need a device for.
Jeff if you could read Jackies book it would be a real help for you.

Hi Jeff
Unfortunately, the Polaris hasnt met expectations, both from others and my
own perspectives. I know there is a new update, but I dont know if this
includes a move from Lollipop 5.1.1 to something newer. When I had one, it
was too sluggish and crashed far too much. Its size and design are lovely
aspects, but the software leaves a lot to be desired, and Im not wild about
support either.
I think you would do better going for the BrailleNote Touch Plus, both in
terms of reliability and technical support. See what other people think,
these are only my views.
In terms of price, whichever flavour you go for is going to be at least
£3,500 and above.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

I have given up trying to gt my trusty Braille Sense serviced and
repaired.
Do any of you have strong views about the Polaris?
People dont rave about it as they did the Braille Sense, or is this my
imagination?
Also how much does it cost?
Chheers
Jeff
