I need to set this up again when I find a victim, err, a volunteer, so I can make some practice runs and make sure I csan do this on the fly. The Focus Blue 5th as made this so simple and so far I like the wauy it all works. For this I use the Drafts app because it opens directly to the text field.

Hey ET,

That’s an interesting set up. I’ve always hated having to choose between a 
braille display and a qwerty keyboard, so that actually sounds kind of 
attractive. Thanks.

   I have the mini 4. Its main purpose is as a backup should something happen 
to my hearing. Its in a case with a qwerty keyboard. Pair the mini with a 
braille display and I can communicate with others.

   I don't use it much currently but that will change.

Thanks.  I'll check out 9-5 Mac and see what I can learn.  But since I envision 
the iPad being a very secondary device, I'm not sure I need the latest and 
greatest.
Cheers,

Hi,

2 things.  First, if you're considering an iPad, I would hold off as if your 
looking at a mini, apple says they are releasing an iPad mini 5th gen some time 
this year.  I think 9-5 mac has articles suggesting such.

Second.  The iPad mini is good for the simple fact that it is only about 7 
inches and is great as a small device  if you do not have a laptop and you can 
always get a keyboard to use with it if you do not have one already.  I would 
be interested in other people's thought as well.

Subject: Any good reason to own both an iPhone and an iPad?

Hi all,

OK, so Mark has re-awakened the bug in me, and I'm thinking about buying an 
iPad mini.  But I'd like to do a sensibility check first.

I've been curious about learning Swift ever since Apple released Swift 
Playgrounds.  However, my interest is largely as a hobby, I don't see myself 
suddenly embarking on a career as an app developer.  With that in mind, I'm 
wondering if buying an iPad is just a silly expensive purchase.  Other than the 
Swift Playgrounds issue, I've always felt like an iPad would just be redundant, 
since I have no need whatsoever for the extra screen real-estate.  so here's my 
question.  Do any of you own both an iPhone and an iPad?  If so, what is the 
value of having both devices?  What niche or need does the iPad fill that the 
phone does not?

Thanks in advance for any input.
Cheers,
Donna
