They might've screwed it up a little in IOS 7. It did work good with IOS 6
though. I would've assumed that most of them used windows-based firmware
updaters, but the Braille Edge might have a way to load it by putting a file on
the SD card with it. The one issue I did have is that if the phone goes to
sleep, the bluetooth can't wake it, but that may be the way Apple devices are
in general.

Hi there
If I had it to do over again, I would wait a while before getting any of the
focuses. First of all, you have to use Windows to update them. That may not be
a problem for you, but it is a pain for me. Second of all, right now some of us
are experiencing really big problems. Focus display with getting the focuses to
pair with the Mac. I hear that is going to be changed when next update comes
around, and I sure hope so.
I do not have the same problems with my Braille edge 40. I had a problem one
time, and that took about two weeks to resolve. Just my two cents on the matter.
Sincerely,
Gigi

The Focus 40 Blue is a pretty good display. It does both bluetooth and USB
for if yo were going to use it with the computer as well. Also, they have
recently added the ability to switch between the two so you could go from the
phone to the PC and back easily. I think the big issue might be whether or not
voiceover supports using braille in other languages more so than the display,
as I would assume all languages still use the same 6 or 8 dots of braille.

Subject: Bluetooth Braille Displays
Hi everyone,
I'm in the research phase of purchasing a bluetooth braille display, and
I'm looking for advice from my fellow visionaries. I've never owned a braille
display, so I'm not too sure which models and brands are most reliable,
popular, etc.
What would you recommend for one whose primary use will be reading
Braille in other languages (I'm a biblical studies student at Yale) ). I'd like
it to be bluetooth so I don't need to deal with the additional wires, and I
don't mind it being a bit larger, since I'll be using it primarily at home.
Any and all advice is welcome.
Regards,
Daniel
