Lana,
First, I'm somewhat surprised that Humanware would plan to discontinue the
QWERTY version of their Apex. As to alternatives, what I'm about to suggest
might not be an acceptable solution for some and it may prove to be more
controversial than I might have envisioned but have you considered an iOS
device, such as an iPod Touch, along with a Bluetooth keyboard. An iPod Touch
is one of the most inexpensive iOS devices you could buy and you could use it
along with a portable Bluetooth keyboard for those times when you plan on doing
a lot of writing. For a more elegant solution you could consider an iPad. For
around $500 you could get an iPad with a keyboard which you could attach to the
device and it would feel like a very thin laptop which would allow you to do
notetaking, word processing, book reading, radio listening, Web browsing and
everything else you can do with an iOS device.

Hi All,
My M power VoiceNote is dying and I have just been informed by cust serv that
Humanware is no longer doing the QWERTY on their Apex. What alternatives are
any of you using?
My Braille skills are not fast enough to use everyday.
Thanks in advance,
