Learned on the iPhone first, so I guess I find the iPad sometimes not as easy 
to follow. However, I have the larger iPad, not sure of name from March of 
2012, and I use it at home for books and listening to the radio with more 
battery life. Question, how do you get left side icons to appear above the home 
button? Curious as this may be easier for me.

Very like it, you can have the buttons lined up along the side or end;  the 
end above the home button is about the best.  The straight line is a lot 
easier to comprehend for those struggling with the braille cell type layout 
on the small device like phone/iTouch.

Hi
is it true MBraille works like a Perkins or other Brailler on the iPad?

Best wishes for 2014 Chris
