Although some might like a detachable braille display, I wouldn't.  The
built-in braille display is one of my favorite features of the BN.

As far as a 40 cell display goes, PDI sells the Brailliant.  I know that I
have brailled music using 30 cells and I actually prefer 30 cells to 40.
Although I used to use 11 by 11.5 paper, I prefer using 8.5 by 11 when I
need to emboss braille music.

It would be nice to have a battery pack a user could install themselves.  A
USB port would be nice, but that would mean a hardware upgrade and that
would cost money.

I think a person _could use a QT keyboard one-handed by simply moving your
hand back and forth along the keyboard.  If you need to capitalize a, s, d,
f, or g, you could turn on caps lock then press the letter.

Another suggestion for those with limited hand use would be to add some
voice recognition software and a mike.  The person could dictate into the
mike and the words could appear in braille on the BN's display.

I can't remember the other suggestions, so I'll stop.
