[nabs-l] Assistive Technology

I use a combination of both. I find that my apex is much more reliable than a braille display paired to an iPhone or iPad. I find that I have a lot of connectivity issues with that set up.

On the flip side, I can use it as a display if I so choose. I too hope they stay in existence and I like the idea of monthly payments. That's not to say I don't like iOS. On the contrary, I love iOS. I still like the portability and ease of my apex though.

I have noticed, as I am sure most of you have, there are some pieces of assistive technology such as, the Braille note,which are obsolete becoming due to the fact many people are preferring to use the iPad, iPhone and other Iproducts with Braille displays. I just was wondering, how many of you are still using your Braille notes, and if so, what benefits do you see in using the Braille note over using any of the -iproducts? I will agree that the iPad, iPhone and so on, are great pieces of technology and it is great that blind individuals are able to use the products without having to purchase any additional software to make them accessible, but I know that I still love using my Braille note, and it is kind of sad to see some of these old, but great pieces of technology go out of the window. Thank you for your input.
