[nfbcs] Review of the Icon or Braille+

[Joe Orozco]

Thanks for the link.  I'd forgotten he'd reviewed this, and I'd also
forgotten I'd previously posted this question to the list.  For people who
don't have time to read the review, the newer models do support G wireless
and come equipped with 60 gigs.  I wish I'd explored the Icon route a little
more carefully before taking the plunge for a Braille Sense.  I'd be curious
to know if anyone can make comparisons between the Icon and the Braille+.
Is the latter significantly bigger given its Braille keyboard?  Does anyone
know if there are any dealers for this product in the DC area?

Thanks very much in advance,

Joe

Also a greater price tag. There's a review of this at:
http://access4.us/2010/02/awwicon/

I'm intrigued by the Book Port Plus, myself; although, since I 
have a perfectly good book player (Book Sense) and really just 
want a better digital recorder, I am intrigued by the Zoom H1, 
coming out in just a couple weeks. Although, the possibilities 
surrounding the Book Port Plus and Plextalk Pocket's built-in 
wifi chip are very compelling.
