[nabs-l] Braille Note Apex

[Sophie Trist]

Loren, I do not think the braillenote apex can read PDF files. It 
interprets PDF files as pictures, and it cannot read the text 
contained with them. But, Ian, he's right about the increased 
speed and more web accessibility. And it can read some word docs.

The apex is a step up from the m-power. It is lighter and a 
little faster.
Also, it will allow you a little more access to sites on the net.  
It can do
pdf docs.  I'ved heard it can also do some word docs.  I haven't 
tried that
yet.

But unless these things would aid you, and the m-power is in need 
of repair,
I don't know that I would make the jump at this point.  Afterall, 
windos ce
6.0 is not exactly new.  I have the apex, and I'm glad I do.  
But, if you
are happy with what you have, stay with it.  Because as you said, 
it is a
huge investment; and, most of us, don't have money lying around 
just to have
the newest and greatest.

Hi
I'm thinking about purchasing a Braille Note Apex, but I already 
have a
laptop, an M-Power, and an IPhone. Since it's a big investment, 
what am I
getting on the Apex, that I don't already have on these other 
technologies?
Any thoughts about which avenue to go?
Ian
