            HumanWare Launches the BrailleNote Apex 

            HumanWare has just launched the newest member of the BrailleNote family, the BrailleNote Apex, the thinnest and lightest of notetakers. 

            Powerful, but slim at just 2 cm (0.78˝) and weighing only 812 grams (1.8 lbs), the BrailleNote Apex is designed for on-the-go portability and high functionality. The advanced technology features the acclaimed KeySoft Version 9, a comprehensive suite of productivity applications with feature-rich content. 

            Intelligent ergonomics have always been the benchmark of HumanWare products.. A comfortable full-size Braille or QWERTY keyboard makes notetaking quick and easy, while HumanWare’s signature thumb keys make extensive Braille reading effortless. 

            Multiple storage options define the BrailleNote Apex’s productivity with its 8 GB of internal memory and support for high capacity SDHC cards, along with 4 high-speed USB 2.0 ports, built-in Wi-Fi, Ethernet and Bluetooth. 

            Almost ten years after the introduction of the BrailleNote, the revolutionary BrailleNote Apex is the ninth notetaking device in a line of products that has been a vital part of the global information age since 2000. 

            HumanWare CEO, Gilles Pepin, has confirmed HumanWare’s support for Braille literacy and the company’s commitment to the development of innovative Braille products. Matthew Janusauskas, Technical Support and Service Manage,r will discuss the new hardware additions and explain the agility and capabilities that the upgraded Windows CE 6 provides for the development of future KeySoft applications.
