I had my fingers on a HandyTech display for a few minutes and would
have liked to have kept it. It had an ergonomic display, not flat.
The Hims displays I have used developed many weak cells. At $70 per
cell its gamble how many out of 40 would be replaced. The Focus 5th I
have is just a few months old and has some cells that are problematic
right now. Not to mention the lack of development. One update in almost
a year. Other than that, its decent. Very easy to connect to any one of
5 devices. Sometimes too easy when you don't want a connection.

Hello E.T.,
To be honest, I did not determine the generation name of the display model of
the Focus. I simply told them that I wanted to take a look at the most recent
version of the Focus 40.
I did not see any HandyTech displays but, then again, I did not look for any
HandyTech products.
While I went to virtually all of the blindness related booths, Humanware, Hims,
and Freedom Scientific were the vendors to which I paid the most attention.

Mark.
Was this a Focus 5th or a new version? I like the 5th but its not being
developed enough, it has some minor annoyances.
Were there any displays from HandyTech?

Hello Everyone,
Today, I went to the exhibit hall at the 2019 CSUN Assistive
Technology Conference here in southern California.
Among other goals, I was interested in test driving a few Braille
displays for use with my iOS devices.
Imagine my surprise when I arrived at the A.P.H. booth and discovered
that they had no Orbit Reader 20s on hand for visitors to explore.
While I was there, 2 other people walked up and asked about the Orbit
Reader 20 and were equally disappointed at the lack of a demo model.
I did, however, get a look at an entire host of other BRaile displays,
from other companies, including the latest version of the Focus 40.
Now, that, is a beautiful device.
Regardless, I was sorely disappointed at not having an opportunity to
test drive the Orbit Reader 20 Braille display.
And the beat goes on,
Mark
