[nabs-l] Review of the Icon or Braille+

[Mary Fernandez]

Hi Joe,
I had a Braille+ about two years ago, it was when it first came out.
Unfortunately, i managed to lose mine and it was a tragic experience.
It is a truly wonderful little machine. Navigating the internet is
superb, the music player is fantastic, and listening to books and such
is really great. The way the keyboard works is that you can use it as
like a phone texting style or use the six braille buttons. Most times
I opted for the braille style since I just don't like the texting
style even with a phone. You can write like notes and stuff it's not
meant to be a full blown notetaker, it's a PDA. I would highly,
highly, recommend it. It's a great little machine and honestly I'm
surprised it's not more popular. The portability and syncability is
just awesome! Hope that helps!
