[nabs-l] Recommended apps for the I-phone

[Ashley Bramlett]

Lavonya,
unfortunately, all braille displays are expensive! Most of them are almost 
2000 dollars, even small displays.
I wish they were half that price so a working blind person could afford 
them. But an entry level sallary is about 30 thousand so this is hard to 
afford even if you have a job.
If you are a student, vr may purchase a braille display if you justify a 
reason for it though.
