The BrailleStar is a refreshable Braille display made by Handy Tech in Germany and marketed in this country, I believe, by HumanWare. I am using one as I write this. It has an onboard notetaker function for making sort of Plain Jane text notes, and it has a keypad that the user can configure to serve as hot keys for frequently performed tasks. The Braille display surface is concave--it's like a trough that runs across the unit--so the Braille appears kind of down in the trough instead of on a flat surface. It's lovely Braille and the display is very responsive and I like it a lot.
