[nabs-l] Braille Sense U2 mini question

[Kaiti Shelton]

Hi, Tripp and all,

I have a BrailleSense On-Hand, which was one of the predecessors to
the U2 and the U2 Mini, and I love it. I love the portability and how
intuitive it is.  (PS, you move documents by locating them in the file
list, spacing to select them, then using traditional cut, copy, and
paste commands to move them between folders and drives).

I used the BrailleNote line of products until right before I entered
college and got the BrailleSense, and I definitely think it was the
right choice for me even without the extra features the U2 has and the
On-Hand does not.  One thing I know my professors appreciate is how
quiet the keyboard is; gone are the days of sounding like you're angry
when you type.  I've been able to do everything I usually do on a
notetaker, plus the additional twitter and facebook plug ins are nice.
I'd love to see what a U2 can do with the Youtube, Excel, and other
features.
