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 my fingers. I am getting a braille Note Apex for work and plan to use it with my I phone too as it's the one with the perkins style keyboard rather than the qwerty as Apple do not let you have full control of the I phone. I was told this by Human Ware as the came to my work place to demonstrate.
