Hello Rob,
I know very little about Android myself, as I've only had this
smartphone for a few months, and not used it to full capacity yet.
I can't use brialle, because Brailleback doesn't supporto my display, so
I was hoping (and still am) to be able to work with BRLTTY.
The choice between a smartphone and a tablet is entirely up to you; it
depends on what you want to do.
You can read books on a smartphone and on a tablet; you can read text on
a smartphone and on a tablet...
As to the braille display, yes. I'd suggest a small one, like the small
one by Hims, which is called Luce in Italian, but might be Light in
English (not sure).
Or Braillepen, or any 20-cell thingy.
I have this 40-cell Seika, which I bought for my pc, and because you can
read text from a pendrive with it. I don't use braille keyboards, so I
didn't want a display that can also write. But with a smartphone it
might be a good idea to speed things up a bit.
If you can, however, try to stick to Pure google devices, which receive
their updates straight from Google, as soon as new Android versions are
released. This way you'll always have the latest features, without
having to move on to a custom rom.
Not very helpful, I realise, but I don't want to give you misleading
information...
Ciao,
Ollie

I know almost nothing about android, so I'm going to sound stupid. But
anyway.
I've been thinking about getting an Android device. My question is:
should I get a phone or a tablet? Which would work better in terms of
working with BRLTTY or does it matter?
If I get something like a Nook Color, am I going to be able to read
books on it with BRLTTY? If I get a phone, will I be able to read text
messages with it? How much functionality are we able to access?
My second question is what kind of display should I look at? I of
course want something portable that can run on batteries, but not
necessarily a full notetaker like a braille sense or braille note.
Since we are dealing with phones or tablets, probably a 20 cell
display should be enough, although, since I really don't know anything
about this, I'm just guessing.
Any help appreciated.
