[Blindtlk] Introducing Myself Plus Notetaker Question

[Vejas Vasiliauskas]

Hi Judy,
Thank you so much for your reply.
How many cells is the device from HIMS? Also, do you know about how long it has been on the market and how frequently they update?
And thank you so much for your suggesttion on contacting the company. I will do that for sure.

It also hooks up seamlessly as a braille display to my various Android phones. Currently I am using the Wine Smart flip, a phone that is fully functional with all the latest phone apps, yet has the physical phone buttons along with a touch screen. I also use the LG V20 that has a better camera, but bigger. I like the smaller sizes that drop into a pocket or purse. I also use the FB, Youtube, Kindle, e-mail and several other apps on my phones.
