Well, I don't get it. The LevelStar Site doesn't give much information on the Icon, look like you don't get any input other than audio without the docking station which means $1,300 for the Icon and $600 for the keyboard, $1,900 altogether. For that you get 8 more gigs of hard drive than you get on an iPhone. I presume you can do input in some way outside of the docking station but they don't tell you anything about that. Having braille output albeit only 18 cells will add to the capability of course but it seems redundant to me to have yet another isolated note taker. The iPhone and come to that the iPod touch already does all that stuff and more for less. ----- Original Message ----- From: Littlefield, Tyler To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Ken Perry Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2011 5:36 PM Subject: Re: Announcing the Orion Smart book I seen that!
