[nabs-l] Tell me about the BrailleNote Apex.

[Joshua Hendrickson]

I have had a braille note apex for a few months and do like it.  I was
able to check a few web sites when my computer was down, and even
order from amazon.com.  However, since I heard about the touch, I've
wanted one.  This is because the touch uses android which is an open
platform, which is easy to keep up to date with mainstream technology.
I'll be able to do things like check youtube, download and listen to
audible books, and download any accessible app I want from the google
play store.  Trying to use audible on the apex really wasn't possible.
I am looking forward to getting my touch once I've saved up enough
money.
