[nabs-l] Neo-Braille

[Joshua Hendrickson]

I just looked at the neobraille.  My problem with the device is that I
think it has way to many buttons to suit me.  Also, this is a big
issue, is the neobraille going to be google certified?  Even though it
runs on androie that is newer then the touch, where are you going to
to be able to download apps for the device.  Also, I heard no mention
of a camera.  The touch has a camera and the KNFB APP for scanning
documents.  Although I've never been very much into OCR stuff, I'm
very interested in trying out the KNFB reader portion of my touch.
