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,
Zach
