[nfbcs] Android-based braille notetakers

[rjaquiss]

Hello:

     I was at CSUN and saw the new Braillenote. It is also an Android based
device. The braille keys flip up revealing a touch screen.

Regards,

Robert

Subject: [nfbcs] Android-based braille notetakers

2 new braille notetakers were announced at CSUN, the NeoBraille and the
Braille2Go.  Both are based on android phones.

Did anyone happen to go to CSUN and actually use one of these new
notetakers?

I'm in the market for a new braille notetaker, and I'd like to know what the
interface for either of these is like.  Does one have to swipe around, or
does one enter a command from the keyboard to bring up an app?  If I need to
quickly scribble a note, does the device come on quickly, or do I have to
mess around with unlocking it, then starting some app?  

I know it's a long shot, but I'd love to hear from anyone who's actually had
hands on one of these new devices.

Tracy
