Hello E.T.,
I completely understand your confusion.
As for iTunes continuing to display the Transfer option, I'm almost certain it
will be removed in the next major release.
In terms of making sure that you have an accessible version of your apps, the

After playing with the BrailleNote Touch today, I feel confident in saying,

TALKBack angle gestures have been routed to buttons on the braille display.
There is a braille screen input mode, or a braille keyboard overlay. I

Everything has an Achilles heel and cables are definitely Achilles
heels. That said, my iPhone 5 is over 3 years old and none of the
lightning cables (I cannot tell which is the oldest) is in fine condition.

Getting back to Apple selling Braille displays, does it include VAT (for the US

Hi Mark,
VU stands for Vario Ultra, the newest display from Baum. And just FYI, one of
it's features is multiple options for configuring how the panning keys behave.
I can't remember all the choices off-hand, but I'm pretty sure you could set it
up to pan the way you describe.
Cheers,

By the way, what is a VU? You wrote that you like that your VU is completely

that one cannot switch the panning keys.

I really like FS’s Focus 14 Blue, but I don’t like note-takers so it suits me
perfectly. I hate my old PACMate 20.
I’ve also used a Focus 40 Blue which I also liked. I prefer these to my
