Sorry all, forgot to mention my specific model I have an MPower, will this work with the iphone? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alex Hall Sent: Sunday, 11 March 2012 1:16 PM To: josh gregory Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Braillenote] pairing the iphone via bluetooth with thebrailleNote I can confirm this. I never thought the cord could connect the two for pairing, but I hoped to get a charge out of the deal at least. It seems, though, that the apex can't put out enough power from its usb ports to do the job. On 3/10/12, josh gregory <[email protected]> wrote: > Nope, sorry.
