Has any one yet fired up a bluetooth display such as the baum or the brailiant or the braille connect? I'm getting a braille connect and going to try to connect it bluetooth. That would get rid of one wire on my desk. Unfortunately I don't think the pack mate supportes bt, but the cool thing about the baum displays is that I can use it on my computer or my phone. They're very well built and versatile units.
