It is a device, better then the Braille Note Apex.  It has 18 
cells and a refreshable braille display.  It has a built in gps, 
can multitask on nine different things, has youtube support, 
(meaning you don't have to convert videos to audio), can support 
nifferent file types,
 can support nemeth code, and my favorite, can use skype's audio 
chat or something like that? I forgot what it was called, but no 
camera required.
I don't have one, but just asked my VI aid about getting me one 
next year and he said yes.

 I honestly can't recall; I haven't seen a Focus in a while, but 
I
 think there are thumb keys on the front edge of the braille 
display,
 similar to those on a BraillleNote.  There are probably four of 
them.
 I believe it's the two middle ones that will move you forward 
and
 backward through the book.  If I am wrong and there are no thumb 
keys,
 then there are probably two rows of really little buttons just 
above
 the braille display.  The furthest right and furthest left 
buttons on
 the bottom row will do the same thing.  I'm sorry this is so 
vague,
 but I haven't seen a Focus in a couple years, so I'm just kind 
of
 going from memory here.
