Hi Chase,
Larry made a podcast that summarizes the BP 2
features:
http://blindcooltech.aph.org/info/info37.mp3
This might be the same one done by ACB Radio around
march, but I'm not sure.
And what about Levelstar? I inferred it from the
following website:
http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT3329252460.html
Do a search on the words "USB client and host ports".
The paragraph after this phrase says:
Additionally, the Icon shares the same embedded
hardware and software platform as the American
Printing House "Braille Plus," a design variant with a
six-key braille keyboard instead of a telephone-style
keypad.
If you have the Icon and Braille+ side by side, the
plastic casing and color scheme are very similar.
Cheers,
-jon
