If Humanware sold as many note takers as Apple does i-devices, they would've be as expensive. And Apple's braille support isn't all that great.

I don't mean to bash the braillenote or the manufacturer, and I appologize if my tone is coming across as such, it's just…to spend that much money on a device and have your iphone/ipad, which coasts a fifth of the price, work more flawlessly is a wee bit disappointing.

>>> Security alert dialog.
>>> informationyou exchange with this site cannot be viewed or changed by others. However, there is a problem with the site's security certificate.  The security certificate is from a trusted certifying athority.
>>> The security certificate date is valid.
>>> The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site.

>>> 1.  I can sometimes get eight or ten of these in a row, and I just hit yes on it.
>>> 2.  When i'm moving to a new line on the dialog, the braillenote lags.  for example, from "The name on the security certificate is invalid…" to "do you want to continue…" it takes the braillenote a second at most to jump from those two line.  When you're dealing with four lines, that's four seconds, just to get to the prompt.  With all of that added up, it takes about a minute to get past that.  I even tried hitting "no" on the prompt and it still brings up security stuff..
