Hi Carolyn, I hope Voc Rehab comes through for you. THey will get you the Ipad or just the BrailleNote Apex? THe Braillino is a notetaker and Braille display combined in to one. Kind of like the Apex, but with less cells. It's a 20-cell, and doesn't have speech. It can be paired with the Mac, Ipad I'm sure, Iphone, and many other things. I believe it has a CD that allows you to transfer things from it Via USB to a computer. If I didn't need to type so many things at work, like forms I would opt for the Braille display myself. I hope that the trend will be Ipads, Iphones and Ipods with the Braille display hooked to them. THe Braillino is manufactured by Handytech. I think their website is: http://www.handytech.us
Good luck with Voc Rehab. THey dragged their feet about the Braillino, but the BrailleNote I had died. THe display went after two years. I hope you are having a wonderful evening.
