Thanks so much. Visiting the HandyTech site itself, not the HIMS distributor, was a bit refreshing, although I do wish they had the manual in HTML format, with a link there from the product page like Freedom Scientific has. Oh, and that Applevis article is here

Hi! THe bluetooth problems are gone but you have to pair the bluetooth audio separately. The cells i think are brilliant. Those handytech displays i’ve had through the years does not have the dying cells problem. The battery seems to last for weeks but that is not a statement just a personal com

The Active Braille is on my wish list. I will not go less than 40 cells. I had my hands on this display for a few minutes last year but was afraid to get used to it because of price. The biggest draw was its quality and ergonomic form factor. The Focus does not come close. From E.T.'s

isn’t it funny how different people are. I had 40 for a bit. it was too big. it hurt my shoulders to read on it. I think the actilino is amazing. if you’re trying to control a computer then really 40 isn’t even enough IMO. I just read, and the tactile scrolling is heaven. autoscroll is annoying
