Yes, from a cost point of view, I would agree. In addition, you would still have excellent portability, though you are now dealing with three devices. Terry

RE: Replacing Braille Notetaker with iDevice It would be much cheaper to get a small bluetooth Braille display and a bluetooth keyboard for your QWERTY input.

RE: Replacing Braille Notetaker with iDevice Actually, with such note takers as those from Humanware, Hims and Freedom Scientific, that use a Braille display and a qwerty keyboard, you can type on the keyboards using the standard typing mode, or you can convert the qwerty keyboards to Braille writer style keyboards, which then use letters f, d and s to represent the keys for dots 1, 2 and 3, and keys j, k and l to represent the keys for dots 4,5 and 6. When using the keyboard in this way, you press the keys simultaneously, to make your characters, just as you would, if you were writing, using a Perkins style keyboard.
