Hi Sue,I noticed you said you have used a Braille and Speak in the past, You might want to think about the Braille Plus instead of the ICON since the Braille Plus has a Braille key board where as the ICON doesn't.

Wow that sounds really wonderful. I would love to get this since my husband and I do travel to the east coast twice a year, sometimes we do get stuck in an airport, and it sure would be nice to surff the web when you are waiting for your flight, or if we are in PA, at a hot spot, I could surff the web there to, when I looked at this Icon , the pric was really what interested me, since I did look at all of the other note takers, they seemed really expensive, and since I do still have the Braille and Speak, I got that for 1400 dollars and the Icon, is around that same price, wow! This is cool how you are on this list as well as the WE list. I also noticed when I was listening to the podcasts they did mention it does have a CF card slot, and you have to purchase a CF card reader? Where would you get those items? How does all of this work? Thanks for your help.--- Richard Turner <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hi Sue, If you are a braille user, I'd recommend the Braille+ version from APH.If not, the Icon is the way to go. As others have said, there doesn't seem to be any virus worries. I've had the Braille+ since August and done lotsof e-mail and web surfing and streaming with it with no virus or spyware issues.Again, the Icon and the Braille+ are the exact same unit except the Braille+was modified by APH to allow direct braille input so you don't need anexternal keyboard or to do text entry like you would text message on a cellphone.

This is Sue and I really like what has been said about the Iconalong with the all ofthe podcasts and from what I have listened to, the unit sounds really easyto operate. What I was wondering is there going to be an anti spyware program or an anti virius program that you caninstall on the Icon so that you are protected when surffing the web? This ismy first time on this list. Hope you have a good day. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?
