Hi. I have tried some of these small displays, in my opinion they are not much worth. Yes you can use them for writing, but if you are reading only a little mails or longer messages and using safari, the smaller displays will not do it.
On the other hand I am also wondering if 40 cells displays are to long. I have better results with something like 32 cells, 24 will probaly do it, I do not know, but I wish there could be done some experiments to figure out if there are any preferable lengths of braille displays. If 40 cells displays is not doing better than e.g. 24 or 32 cells why spend money on the longer displays. Best regards Annie.
