[Nfbf-l] Fw: [accesscomp] Braille-touch coming to the iphone in january

For those of you who read Braille and use the iPhone, this sounds interesting. Also sounds easier than navigating a QWERTY keyboard.

    Hi,
I just read in Twitter this evening that the Braille Touch is about 
to come to the app store.
You may remember that this concept got a huge amount of media 
attention last February and then more or less disappeared from the 
public eye. this app allows you to type on your iDevice like a 
Perkins Braille Keyboard.
It is a paid app but you can try it out for free.
If you visit http://brailletouchapp.com/#maincontent you can read the 
users guide and read the frequently asked questions.
You can also sign up on the email list to be notified when the app is 
released.
It will be very interesting to see how this compares with fleksy.
John
