I tend to agree with Scott. An iPad, with a Bluetooth keyboard is much less expensive than a blindness specific note taker, and Mike Calvo reviewed a particularly nice case on a recent Serotek Podcast. An iPad may mostly be a media consumption device for our sighted counterparts, but, with the right accessories, it is a viable alternative to overpriced blindness specific products.
