Actually Evan, glad to know I'm not the only one who was taken in and is feeling sad. At least you know you're not alone LOL.

The HIMS notetaker is quite a decent device. It's definitely worth

It was almost believable, other than the  price.
Both Humanware and HIMS are touting android devices with a braille
display, of course they are 4 to 5 thousand dollars.

Science fiction has proven to be possible in the past, so one could
only hope, grin.

Well, I admit it, I was taken in. I guess my judgment was clouded by
wishful thinking.  It would sure be cool to have such a device.
Feeling a bit sad,

Considering how many resources Facebook and other companies spend each year trying to eliminate fake news, I am constantly amazed at the number of people who are amused by these obviously fake and not
amusing stories.  If someone posted a fake story about a blind
friendly device on May 22^nd or a new Cumulative update on March
fourteenth and then at the end of the message they said. Hey only
kidding.  Everyone would be angry.  Not the least bit amused.

    Hi,



In the most recent Today in iOS Podcast which I listened to this
    morning at around the 32 minute mark, Rob mentioned that
apparently reliable sources from Mac Rumours and 9to5Mac said Apple is working on a special iPhone for the blind with a 20-cell braille display. This may be available as early as this fall, the braille cells would take up part of the screen, but of course there still would be a smaller area which accepts the familiar touch gestures as well and it will be priced similarly to the rumoured iPhone 8 at just over $1,000 US. Below is a direct link to the Podcast, if you subscribe to Today in iOS you can quickly
    skip ahead and start listening at around 32 minutes into the
Podcast. I am not much of a braille user myself, but I know many on this list use braille all the time and this would probably be a big hit for braille users. Here now the link, if you listen by going to this link on a computer look for the button Jaws speaks
    as "Unlabelled 0":
