This, IMHO, is probably the biggest thing since sliced bread for the blindness PDA industry. Most of our PDAs have rather mediocre storage, by today’s standards, and for that storage & custom user interface that makes the device friendly for people who are blind, you pay about as much as you would for a good gaming PC (approximately $1,000-$2,000). This is the first possibility for a notetaking solution that I’ve seen, talking out of the box, for under $1,000. What do you get for that approximately $900? 64GB of flash storage, WiFi 802.11n (most notetakers are stuck at B or G), it talks out of the box (same setup procedure as the iPhone in iTunes), full sized keyboard on the dock, and the iWork suite ($30 for a full suite that is near-desktop experience; $10 each for individual apps). I love this. braille may be coming for this. The feature in the iPhone that allows you to keep VoiceOver on with speech off makes me wonder. We’ll see when it comes out in late March.

This is a sixteen year old handheld PDA for people with limited vision. We call them note takers. There is no touch screen, in fact there’s no screen period. This is the forerunner to the modern PDA as we know it today. There was a need for this type of device back in the mid eighties. I go into how this works, including some random reboots that it did on it’s own. LOL
