I agree that the price is rather steep since you can buy the software for a computer for about one sixth the cost. However, as it was pointed out to me, they had to do a lot of work to get it to accept grade 2 braille entry, work on the different platforms, etc. So, what we are paying for is the work to make it accessible on a portable device. Of course, I don't know if the software would be accessible on the computer with Jaws or Window-Eyes.
But those who can afford it, having it on the braillenote or voicenote will be fantastic. If I were in college again, this would be great!
