[Blindtlk] technology questions

[Jewel]

Hi, I can't speak about the notetakers, having never used one. However, I can say that the Focus 40 Blue works really well with my iPhone 4S. I use it to take notes in my college classes, have notes available during a presentation, and navigate my iPhone in noisy settings. I actually prefer to use the Braille display with my phone more than with my laptop. oOh, I also use the Braille display to read books through the Read2Go app. And the Focus 40 is large enough to give a good number of cells, but not so large that it can't be easily transported. I carry my Braille display to school and its size is never a bother, an argument people make in favor of the Focus 14. 
I definitely would see if you can get your hands on both a Focus 40 and the notetaker you are considering just to try them out if you can. As the saying goes, to each their own. While I love my refreshable Braille display, you might find the notetaker a better choice for yourself. 
Best of luck, 
Jewel

> Good afternoon. I am considering purchasing either a focus 40 blue or one of the Braille Sense U2 models. Is there a product that works the best with an iPhone? If I become certified as a technology trainer, would it be better for me to get a notetaker such as the U2, or could I take notes and write reports using the app AccessNote with my iPhone or an iPad? Would a mac serve the same purpose as other I devices? If I buy the U2 with a Perkins style keyboard, how do you select peeker  items  similar to using a combo box with Jaws since that model does not have arrow keys?  Does the qwerty keyboard on the U2 work the same way as an Apple bluetooth keyboard with an iPhone? Thank you.
