Hi Donna
I have a braille Edge  40, and I like it a lot. What offhand, I can't think of 
anything except one little small thing. If you use the Bluetooth option, and 
then you switch to the USB option to put it on your Mac, there is this Weird 
thing where you can't go with the space G option to grade to an computer 
braille. I got around this by usingeither  the Bluetooth option most of the 
time. I think they'll fix that eventually.
I guess the only other small thing that I can think of what offhand has nothing 
to do with the Mac or the iPhone or any iOS device. If you use the standalone 
option for writing and reading files, there is a slight bug for displaying with 
BRF files. If you tell the braille edge that you don't want to see special 
characters, every now and then you will get displayed what appears to be a 
blank line. This is more noticeable in web braille files. I just go right past 
it and keep going.
You can easily go back and forth between the braille edge and the map, and then 
that never knows you left. The little card that is inside the Burlage can be 
put into the slot in a MacBook Pro, and it works real good. The only thing is, 
it will put these weird little files in there that I ignore most of the time, 
but you can delete them. They are very obvious, and I have been told that it is 
the Macintosh computer that is putting the files on there.

If you want one, I think you will be doing yourself a good thing by getting a 
Bralinch. I'm glad I got mine.
