Wow yes! Hope there wer a way for me to be able to have either a
BrailleNote Touch donated or loaned, and other new technology; I'm the
director of the Ciberaprendiendo podcast over at ww.eiberoamerica.com,
thus if I'd record several Spanish podcasts of these, it'd be a way to
promote this technology among the Spanish-blind. Write me at
gera1027@xxxxxxxxx so as not to clutter the list.

Hi Robert,
Do you have a link to the document you refer too? I'd love to read it. Anyone
know about the e braille from fs?
Also, what do you all think of just a plain braille display connected to an
ipad etc? Do you think it will give us more than a notetaker does?

Hi Zack,
You are so wrong about the touch screen on the touch.
The polaris needs a touch hscreen to be approved by google.
There are some many things missing from the Polaris, if you could only see
Greg Stilson document in the comparison on both android tablets, you would
not even pick the Polaris!
No removable battery, no removable internal memory, no adding more internal
memory like 128 GB for the touch offers, camera not even cnetered no glash,
I and others want to b in the sighted world not in the blind world!
Theh 7 inchh scrren offers fellow friends, family and IT personal on the job
or at school to assist in customizing the touch to the network at school or
work.
You are so brainwashed about HIMS products!
Good luck with the failed Polaris!!!

My opinion, if some sighted person wanted access to a screen,
then they should bring their own screen to hok it up too, no
offense. And Android gestures on the Touch? From what I heard,
forget it.
Thanks,
Zach

In case a sighted person needed to look at your touch for some
reason.
Also a person who is familiar with android gestures could use the
touch stream like an android device.<div

Why would you want the polaris to have a screen? Pam.

I may not like the touch for reasons of my own, but I'd still
take the
touch over the polaris. I heard a presentation on the polaris
and
thought the device wasn't that good. Just because it runs a
newer
version of android doesn't mean its better. I don't like that
the
polaris doesn't have any kind of visual screen. Also, for me,
the
polaris had way to many buttons on it. Also, from the
presentation I
heard, the voice on the device sounded like a piece of crap.
The nice
thing about the touch, were the voices on it were very clear, it
could
connect to wifi extremely fast. I had no problems with the
processor
on the touch, I was just upset that I couldn't install certain
apps.
Even though I may return my touch, doesn't mean I won't be
interested
in hearing any new updates that will be coming along. I'm not
exactly
sure even if I will return the touch. I'm just considering it.
There
are several apps that work very well on the touch. I like using
Skype
on the device and pandora, and youtube. Reading bookshare books
also
works very well. The braille display is great.<div

Hello Josh,
I thought you said, on a different email list, that you were
going to return the Touch because you thought it sucked. I was
actually thinking about getting a BrailleSense Polaris, which is
coming out later next month, with much better hardware.
Thanks,
Zach

I would not get A B2G at all. The touch is a much better
device.
I
have only had my touch a short time, but it really works well.
It
connects to wifi extremely quickly, and I can use apps like
pandora,
skype, and youtube. I have heard from people who have had a
b2gg,
but the device isn't google certified yet. I'd go with the
touch.<div

Hello all,
I'm a new member on this list, my name is Zachary Morris. I
have
a friend who uses a B2G, and he said that it was a decent
device,
after being out for over a year, and I would like to know any
other people's thoughts on this braille device, if any of you
have one.
Thanks,
