[Home-on-the-range] FW: [IDevices] blue tooth keyboard and headset for Iphone 4s

[Cindy Ray]

I just use cheap earphones or ear plugs. Right now I am using a Braille Pen. Just got it and am learning how to use it. I have found the Brailliant to be less than acceptible for the price of it. The Braille Pen has no frills like router cursors, which I miss, but as I learn the joy stick, I am finding it easier to use, and figuring how it tracks helps. The Focus Blue works nicely on the iDevices. This is my experience. I don't know if anyone cares about this here, and I'm on the iDevices list, but if you are thinking of purchasing accessories for your iDevice, this is my two cents worth. I have a bluetooth keyboard, but it is justa  regular little Apple one. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
