I imagine this is personal preference too. Also, it would depend on how
hard you had to work or how much it interrupted your flow to keep moving
through the book. On one end would be something
like my braillelite 40 which I can set to scroll autoatically and then
adjust the scrolling speed (braillelite doesn't work on iPhone though) and
the other extreme would be something that forced you to really go out of your
reading pattern to go on to the next group of cells.

I disagree: I have a focus40, which I use at work. I set it to use 14 cells,
accept for when I am reading code.
For books and the web and everything else, I prefer to read with less cells. It
requires less hand movement and is more ergonomic, in my opinion.

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.

I read a lot of books on my IPod, so I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to use
something like a 12-cell display. I have a preference for Braille books over
audio. I can definitely understand a use for a small display with Idevices,
(portability, reading with light email and web browsing, and writing practice
with Braille beginners) but personally, this wouldn't be my choice. I haven't
actually checked out the small ones, so I can't evaluate them yet. If I get a
chance, I may do so one of these days.
I use my Focus 40 Blue with both my Mac and IPod, and I switch back and forth
constantly by either locking the screen on my Ipod, or unloading VO on my Mac.
I am very satisfied with this arrangement for my own purposes.

Well, even if one only wants one for iPhone, if you are going to do email,
reading and web browsing, the question is relevant. I would want to use a
display for more than just the iPhone and buying questions that dealt with
those issues probably wouldn't be relevant here.
