Hi,
I haven't used a braille display so maybe someone who has can speak up.
I do think it would be useful though. Most of the apps aren't even music
related or sound related at all. There are all sorts of tools that you can use
online ranging from simply checking the weather or stocks on up to the full web
browser or restaurant finders and everything inbetween. Even OCR software
although I personally have not used this.
All the built in features are accessible unlike windows mobile devices.
Even the camera is useful. Apple has done a very good job with the product.
