Hello,
The browser is hopeless, I agree. While its not awesome, its the best out of
the lot. But look at from the bright side. The braille plus 18, made by APH,
turned out so badly, that they have even discontinued it.

Subject: [access-uk] Re: braille sense replacement
As Mike Townsend pointed out in another context on last night's In Touch, all
of these machines are way behind the curve in terms of the mainstream
software they run, so much so that many modern websites are simply not usable
to them. Even the new Euro Braille model which Steve Nutt is about to stock
is only running windows 7. While i agree with those who've said that the
HIMS products are probably currently the best, the person who sold me my U2
Mini actually said that he couldn't envisage any serious web user ever using
one of these machines because the browser is just not up to it and the
process is incredibly slow.

My Braille-Sense 18 is pretty hammered.
Can anybody tell me if there is a better unit out there?
I need it to do the same kind of stuff but better web access and being able
to use the BBC web site more fully would be nice.
Also being able to click on a LINK in an email and going directly to the
web site would also be wonderful.
Most of the time even if I can open the email in the web browser it just
freezes.
Cheers
Jeff
