Hi. Yesterday I bought a Kindle Fire 7 for £50 and the browser along with
everything else is accessible and these Braille devices cost up to a £1000 or
more and the browser is out of date to run properly? Why are people wasting
their money investing in such devices?

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.

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
