Hi Andrew, I can chime in here a bit. I haven’t had a chance to try the new brilliance, but I had an older brilliant 32 and ran it into the ground basically. The braille is crisp, it’s very responsive for both mac and iDevices, (I used it with my iPad and iPhone both interchangeably, and had no issues) and most of all it’s light weight and easy to cary. Like you said it doesn’t have the note taking capabilities or at least the older one didn’t, not sure about the new one since I haven’t had a chance to look at it too closely but I liked the braille and the snappiness of the unit. Hope this helps some. I have a focus 40 that again is another good display and it does have the text entering capability but I’ve had it for a while now and enjoy it as well. As long as it is 32 or 40 cells I’m good. Anything any smaller and it gets a little cramped for me. Thanks again and if you have any further questions don’t hesitate to let me know but that’s my take on it. Take care and talk to you soon. > On Mar 4, 2015, at 3:32 PM, Andrew Lamanche <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I'd like to know your experience with Brailliant 32 Braille displays.
