I'm one of those apparent few who do like the wiz wheels. It seems natural
for me to just turn one a click when reading and wanting to read either the
rest of the current line or the beginning of the next. It's just a nice way
to scroll down a page. I don't mind it if others don't like them, as it is
a personal choice.

Subject: RE: Focus 40 original and IOS 8
I have used an original focus 40 blue with IOS 8, and frankly, I like my
Focus 14 blue with it a lot better. As you say, more commands are
supported. The only way to flick right and left with the original aside
from using a chorded command to do it each time is to use the wiz wheels. I
really never liked the wiz wheels. They are, at least for me, hard to
control. Also double tapping to me isn't intuitive. I like using the mode
button for that on the Focus 14 blue. I don't own the original focus 40
blue, and honestly, I'm glad I don't. Even with the extra cells, I much
prefer my 14 with the iPhone. Of course, if I could get a newer 40, then I
would prefer that, but since you're asking about the older one, I must tell
you that given the choice, I'd take my newer 14 over that one any day. I
rejoiced when they got rid of the wiz wheels. I don't know of anyone who
really likes them, though there may be someone out there who does.

Subject: Focus 40 original and IOS 8
I have the original Focus 40 blue, the one with the whiz wheels and want to
learn to use it with my 4S. I am writing in the hope that someone will post
a capsule synopsis of the pros and cons of using the Focus 40 with an IOS
device. I seem to recall reading that other braille displays support more
of the IOS command set than the Focus, I hope to learn its strengths and its
weaknesses. I did find a podcast from Freedom Scientific, but I didn't find
it particularly comprehensive.
Thanks in advance for feedback.
