Interstingly, along the lines of braile displays, I reported being
unable to connect my Braille connect 12, but that appears to be owrking atain.

Original message:
As of IOS 5.1 the Humanware Brailliant BI displays work fine with Apple
devices. There are work arounds for the conflicting keystrokes, which
I don't recall at the moment.
Apple fixed the Humanware issues and broke all HIMS products and I
believe Braille Connect displays with 5.1.
Now we are waiting for them to fix it again. Nobody knows when they
might see fit to do that since they have been aware of it since the day
they released 5.1.
As a user of the HIMS products, I'm getting a bit tired of Apple's
taking their F--ing time on this one.

Hello,
First, it must be noted that I have never worked with a HumanWare
display and an iOS device.
According to many posts through the past few years, the HumanWare
displays have a tendency toward internal controls being performed via
chorded commands. These internal chorded commands have been reported to
conflict with iOS control command chords.
Also, the HumanWare displays are reported most often as having
bluetooth stack issues which may prevent regular and stable connection
with the iPhone.
Note: apparently, the Braille Sense displays are having connection
issues since the latest iOS upgrade. I will be able to test a Braille
Edge next week to see how well it works with my iPhone 4 and how well
it works with my Mac.
Given how often HumanWare displays have had complications with iOS
devices, I will not use one as my primary interface device until they
are connection and command stable for a couple software upgrade cycles.

Hello David,
Why do you exclude the HumanWare products in your comments?
Just curious.

Hello,
Concerns have been expressed about using iBooks with a braille display.
I connected my Alva BC640 to my iPhone and ran iBooks. Upon loading
iBooks and touching the display to get focus in to the body of the page
displayed, I merely needed to press dots 1 3 5 spacebar to cause iBooks
to jump to the next page and place me at the start of the page. When I
pressed dots 2 4 6 spacebar, iBooks jumped to the previous page and
placed me at the top of the page.
Therefore, at least the Alva is able to fully function in iBooks
without ever needing to leave the text area. Given that the commands
are chorded with the spacebar, I suspect that other braille displays,
except maybe the humanware displays, should function similarly in iBooks.
