You're welcome! There is also a book from the National Braille
Press (NBP) called Getting Started with the iPhone, which is very
informative as well.

Subject: Re: [Braillenote] BrailleNote and iOS devices: an
informative podcast
Thanks for the endorsement. I would add that, if you would like
to see
something else covered as a podcast regarding iOS and braille,
you
contact mde and I will consider it. Also, for general getting
started
podcasts about iOS (not necessarily braille), blindcooltech.com
has
some, and you can find others scattered across the web. There
are also
primers and FAQs at applevis.com.

Hi everyone,
As I have mentioned numerous times before on this list, there is
a three-part podcast series on the inns and outs of using the
BrailleNote with iOS devices (iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad)
developed by Alex Hall, which you can find at
braillenoteusers.info/media. Part 1 explains and demonstrates
the initial pairing of the iDevice and the BN via bluetooth,
which is used to start using the BN as a Braille terminal with
the iDevice. Part 2 explains the basic Braille commands that
enable you to control the iDevice using the BN's keyboard. And
part 3 details how to use Safari on the iDevice to browse the
Web
with the BrailleNote. These podcasts are very informative, and
will likely answer any new BN and iDevice combo users' questions
about how it works. So I would suggest that everyone who wants
to know how to do this listen to the podcast first and see if
you
can figure it out from Alex's explanation first before asking
the
list. If you are still having problems or can't figure
something
out, by all means post your question here, and we will try to
answer it. But I think the podcasts will help you greatly, and
are a great resource, so please check them out if you want to
learn how to use the Apex as a Braille terminal with iDevices!
Thanks,
Chris
