I have the pac mate omni and although it may not have a future, it crashes way less than the apex. I could write on my omni for hours and it is stable and a great Braille reading / writing device. Also, when you need to service the Braille device, you don't have to send the whole unit in like you have to do with the apex. I wish humanware would build a device that allows you to purchase the Braille display separately so if like me, due to cost constraints could purchase the apex now, and then buy a display later and have it installed. When I ordered my voicenote, it has this empty area which could probably have a Braille display installed if they wanted to design something like that. My reason for buying the omni in 2008 was because I could buy the 20 cell display later and have the ability to take it off when not needed. I'm never selling mine as it is still a good unit and it is reliable. I wouldn't buy it today though, but since I have one, I'm not selling it.
