hi, The old braille connect is much as you describe. The new brilliant bi has
the same basic feature set as the braille connect, only the keys have better
action, particularly the space bars. it's also made of a different type of
aluminum that's a different texture. i actually like it a lot,
Eric.
I use to have the Braille Connect before I sold it. At the time, when using
it, I found it very hard to press the braille keys and my fingers ached. Also
the braille display was very cold to the touch as it was made of metal. Is it
still so? I am now using the Essys as it's better for

Amy,
I have the Braillepen12 and love it.
It's tiny about the size of a 4 by 6 index card.
It weighs practically nothing and is very easy to use.

One thing I would suggest is that you contact companies directly. Some of them
are willing to send you a demo unit for a loan period. Humanware and handytech

I'd honestly be very interested in your opinion on the Focus 14 when you
receive it. I'm not sure if that's the way I need to go, especially given
that I'm a ZoomText user and thus don't need the compatibility with JAWS.

It also works nicely with my husbands iPod touch.
