But that's all! Unless you belong to the "Just use a computer/iPhone/mainstream device/whatever" camp, that's the shining highlight of the BrailleNote. Not to say insignificant, but really, quality control has a lot to do with it, and if I wanted a device which did decent braille I could have just as easily stuck with the classic. I didn't, obviously, because there's a strong incentive to getting everything (or as much as possible) into one device. Or to put it another way, it's not sufficient to be content with a braille notetaker that isn't at least a satisfactory PDA of equivalent specification in the mainstream world. YMMV, IMHO, etc. Anything less is merely a dumb braille terminal (which function in BrailleNote QT is also broken). Now, again, I don't dislike the BrailleNote, but if it's going to be a do-it-all device, it has to live up to the standard. Functionality is one part of it; polish another. The legacy of braille support is clearly not enough to keep people from upgrading their units. We want more, dammit! Cheers, Sabahattin ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender.
