Hi list. There have recently been people on this list wondering
about the braille sease. I have used one of these this summer.
I am an expert on the braille sense, but I'll do my best to give
you my opinions on both the braillenote, and the braille sense.
In my opinion, one of the major drawbacks of the braille sense is
its non-user friendly interface. The braille sense isn't
something you can just give to anyone, and expect them to learn
how to use it in a few days. The braillenote is much easier to
work with. Also, the braille sense calculator has no fraction
capability. The braille sense has an lcd that a sighted person
can look at, but the thing is so small, that a sighted observer
would have a hard time reading it. The braille sense also has no
dictionary or thesaurus. Also, the reset button is located in
the stupidest place, right on the front of the unit. It is not
recessed to prevent accidental use, or anything. Another thing I
have heard about the braille sense is that if the battery needs
to be replaced, you will loose all data on the flashdisk.
The braille sense also has some features that the braillenote
doesn't have, but not many. The braille sense supports msn
messenger. Also, the user can replace the battery without
sending the unit in for service. In fact, the unit comes with a
backup battery.
final conclusion: In my opinion, I think the mpower is a much
better choice.
