Just be aware that the whiz wheels don't have the functionality you might expect. The left one moves by increment in the rotor, and the right one does the equivalent of a Voiceover right swipe with one finger. The reverse commands naturally do the reverse.

All the iOS commands are supported, and the Bluetooth conenction is very stable. Go for it. Best, Anna On Jan 16, 2015, at 1:30 PM, Donald L.

I am writing in the hope that someone will post a capsule synopsis of the pros and cons of using the Focus 40 with an IOS device. I seem to recall reading that other braille displays support more of the IOS command set than the Focus, I hope to learn its strengths and its weaknesses. I did find a podcast from Freedom Scientific, but I didn't find it particularly comprehensive. Thanks in advance for feedback.
