Hi there.
Nope, these things are still being made, sold, and are very much relevant
today. Hims just said that a U2 firmware update is in the works for later
this year. This is the Braille Sense u2 qwerty we're talking about
here--that's the exact name for the product line. and although Hims just
unvailed their upcoming android device, they publicly announced that they
are not abandoning the older U2 products.
By the way, I happen to have one of these qwerty units. I absolutely love
mine, and I think it's the best product out there for those of us who prefer
the qwerty interface with Braille. As a self-proclaimed Braille tech junkie,
I'm just itching to get my hands on one of the latest sleek little android
units, but if I'm honest, I'm probably going to stick to my u2 qwerty
because of that particular keyboard interface. Also, it's worth noting that
the software on the u2 qwerty is not totally comparable to the latest
available in mainstream software, but it is pretty darn current still. If
you're friend is coming from a PacMate perspective, this would be a very
pleasant and definite upgrade for him. I'd be happy to share what I know if
necessary.

All Best,

Bernadetta P
