Hi,
What is a "newer icon"? When would a newer Icon have to have been purchased?
Just wondering. Thanks.

Hi,
This is not true for the Braille+ and newer Icons. The files needed re on
the hard drive.
We intend to add this functionality for the older Icons as well.

Remember you also need the files on the root of your mini-sd card or a
pendrive so the icon /brailleplus has the correct files to reflash from.
I think there should be a podcast on reflashing?
