[nabs-l] Question about netbooks and braille note

[Nimer]

Hello,

No, the braillenote is not an alternative to the netbook. Please keep in 
mind that this is my opinion, but it is not an alternative. I say this 
because they are made for different purposes. Braillenotes are designed 
for the blind, netbooks are designed for anyone. Netbooks are more 
portable, and their functionality surpasses that of a braillenote by a 
thousandfold. A braillenote however has a braille display. A netbook is 
much cheaper than a braillenote, however braillenotes have a braille 
keyboard. If you wish to have a blindness alternative to a netbook, 
please look at the levelstar icon and docking station, as they are a 
third of the price of a braillenote and are comparable to a netbook's 
features. If you wish to have a braille display though, my first choice 
would be a braille sense as the memory is much greater than that in a 
braille note, not to mention that the braille sense has built-in 
wireless and bluetooth and a user-replaceable battery.

Thanks
Nimer J
