Hi all,

I got to see a BrailleNote Touch this week and am considering getting one, but I still have some questions that I'd love to get help with here. In general, I'd love to hear from those of you using the Touch about how you like it as compared to the Apex, but here are some specific things I'm wondering about

1. How easy or challenging was the adjustment from the Apex to the Touch? Were you able to perform basic tasks like writing documents, checking email, using the internet, etc, fairly quickly? Were there things that took a while to learn/feel comfortable with on the Touch?

2. How stable is the Touch compared to the Apex in terms of how often it crashes, how often it needs to be reset, etc?

3.  Is there anything the Apex can do that the Touch can't?

4. I know the Touch can't connect to an iPhone. Do we think this might change, or is it just unnecessary given the Touch's capabilities?

5. Is the internet faster/more accessible on the Touch than it is on the Apex?

6. I saw that the Touch has a camera. Does it have OCR capabilities?

7. Any other pros/cons/things to be aware of as I consider upgrading from the Apex to the Touch?

Thanks so much in advance for your thoughts on any or all of these questions!
