The price is the same for the Focus Blue, yes. (This is a 'firmware uphgrade'.) All new units will come with it in.

That is good news, have not had time to listen to podcast.

Is the price about the same?

The Focus14 Blue will be able to use Power123, due out any day now, which Jonathan Mosen spoke about in the latest (May 2014) FSCast. it will thus be
enabled to operate on the computer and iPhone at the same time, i.e.,
without having to be unplugged from the PC's USB port. (I think you press the on/off button on the side on the display to toggle whether you want the Bluetooth operation or the USB operation when you want to change between devices.) It has Advance bars, router row of buttons, WhizWheels, panning
buttons, shift and selector buttons, and of course the six-dot or the
eight-dot Braille entry keyboard for use with both JAWS and iOS. . it works
seamlessly with both.

Refreshabraille 18 by APH would be a good choice. You can connect via
USB or Bluetooth, and it's a dumb display.  The keyboard is quiet and
it has routing buttons and advance bars.

You might want to also compare the Perkins Braille Mini.  I did a
comparison
of braille displays at work about a year ago, I'll see if I can find
it.
There was one of them that people reported that it was very difficult
to
plug the cable into it to charge it.  Unfortunately, I can't remember
which
one that was.

Thanks  Flor and George, for getting back to me. I have been doing
more
research on Braille displays and found the Braille Pen sold through
Flying
Blind for just under $1,000.

Unfortunately, the sails rep won't be back until Monday, so I can't
get the
dimensions or wait of the Braille Pen.

I was told by Freedomscientific, that their Focus 14, is the size of a
dollar bill and waighing 2 pounds, costs $1,295 .

Has anyone on this list seen both and can compare them for us?

I would be very grateful for any information you might have about
them, both

good and bad.

Sincerely, Vicky

Focus 14?
I think you're talking about the Focus 18?
I saw the tiny one on demo last year, and its great.
I can personally recommend it.
Don't know about JAWS compatibility since I only tried it on an IOS
device but it is an FS product so it should work.

Hi Jaws people, Do any of you know of a really small Braille display
that is Jaws compatible and iPhone friendly and connects either by
USB
or Bluetooth? I am looking for just the display and not one that is
part of a device that has any of its own computability.

Hopefully, this would be able to work with either or both my Windows
7
computer using Jaws 15 as well as my iPhone 5.

Thanks so much for any input or comments about your small display!
Vicky
