[nabs-l] Did Anyone At Convention See the Neo Braille

[Karl Martin Adam]

The Neo is an Android notetaker with the ability to download and 
use all accessible Android apps from the Google Play Store, just 
like the Touch.  The BrailleSense doesn't have that capability, 
and it's an older design, so you would have it for fewer years 
before they come out with the next hardware revision.  I didn't 
really compare the Neo to the BrailleSense in terms of specs 
because I was mostly looking at the Touch and the Neo.

Yes I did see it.  The guy from Irie didn't know much about how 
the software
or user interface works (Irie is only the distributor not the 
manufacturer),
so I don't know how efficient it is to actually use.  It is less 
expensive
than the Braillenote Touch though with significantly better 
memory,
processor speed, and running a newer version of Android, and most
importantly for me will have the option of a qwerty smart case, 
so I am very
excited to learn more once it actually comes on the market at the 
end of the
month.

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone at convention who went to the exhibit 
hall, saw
the Neo-Braille, presented by Irie AT.  It is a notetaker that is 
so new
that many people have not heard of it.
In fact, I never heard it announced anywhere else at convention, 
so if I
hadn't gone to their table I probably never would have heard 
about it
myself.
If you did see it, I would appreciate it if you could tell me 
your opinion
on it and whether you feel it would make a good notetaker.  I 
currently have
a Braille note and am looking within the next year of either 
getting the one
I just described, or a Braille sense U 2.
Thanks.
Vejas
