Hi Harry,

Thanks for sharing this. I heard about this product a couple of years ago. It doesn't have an 8-dot Braille keyboard so this may be a disadvantage for some people. There is already another product like this which is the Orbit Writer. You can get it from Orbit Research and some other re-sellers. The Orbit Writer has an 8-dot Braille keyboard and can connect to multiple Bluetooth and one USB connection.  The Orbit Writer has been well-received/ I think it will be hard for another company to create a device like this unless they have some features which the Orbit Writer doesn't have. Orbit Research is filling a need for people who want to write in Braille but can't afford a Braille display.

Dan
