Hi sean, your student is going to be brailleless for a little while longer yet. When braille arrives in IPhone OS4, there's not a guarantee that it's going to be as functional as say, braille on the mac, although it will almost sertainly support bluetooth which mac OS didn't support until snowleopard.
If it were me, my first choice of display would be a braille connect, followed closely by the alva bc640. The braille connect is far and away the better of the two displays imho, but braille displays are a matter of strong personal preference. What feels good in one man's hand doesn't necessarily feel good in another's. I suggest you let your student hold and use both of these displays and pick the one that feels good in his hand. Otherwise, you might buy something he's not comfortable with and it will go into a closet.
