Hi everyone, I thought I'd chime in here. Having used the BrailleNote, BT32, Pacmate, and now Braillino I have to say if I were going to college now, what I would use is the Iphone for notes or my Macbook combined with the Braillino as a Braille display. I hope the Braillino will be supported soon for the Iphone. I can see where the notetakers for the blind would have their place though. I do better taking notes on the fly in grade two. If someone is dictating something really fast or I have to write something down before I forget I do better in braille but that's just me. I use the Braillino's notetaking function at work, to fill out forms etc. But have started using the Braillino as a Braille display through Window-eyes and using the computer to do the functions I previously deligated to the Braillino.
