Hi Steve well I must agree the android and aplle platforms are so much more up to date now and again I must agree our note takers though they do a great job are getting slowly behind. I think the sense though for some one who is blind is a great tool for a computer needs very small all in one but it does make one think what the future will bring.
at least we have a choice. At 10:02 18/08/2014, you wrote:
Hi John, But supppose you connect said Braille display to that slow old touch screen, then you have the best of both. Use your mainstream device as the guts with a Braille display, I've always said it.
