Hi,

Well, there's more to consider than just pricer and quantity. I want any electronic braille device I owned to be optimized for braille to begin with. The Pac-Mate with a braille display is bulky. Finally, I know people who have had serious repair problems with their equipment serviced through FS. I'm glad for the Apex models: compact, lightweight, user replaceable battery, reliable braille display, and a whole lot more. I liked the Pac-Mate when I looked at it a number of years ago; some of its drawbacks at that time have been corrected. I have not played with a Braille Sense. No matter what, though, the BN meets my braille requirements very well.

Hello Everyone, this was posted on the Blind Bargains website.
Sincerely,

 Humanware Raising Prices of Notetakers up to $184

According to several sources, Humanware is planning to raise the
price for two of their popular notetakers in September.  the 32
Cell version of the BrailleNote Apex will list for $6,379, a $184
increase over the current price.  That's nearly $400 over the
price of a Braille Sense Plus and just under $800 over the retail
price of a PAC Mate Omni, the latter including 8 more cells.  At
the same time, the price of the 18 Cell version of the Apex will
jump to $4,529, a $134 increase.  Finally, the price of the
VoiceNote Apex, to be released in September, has been set at
$2,049.  That's just over $50 more than the price of a
VoiceSense, but nearly $350 under the price of a PAC Mate Omni
without a braille display.
