THE BLIND

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Tony Baechler replying to myself. Just a slight clarification. Neither the 
Icon nor the Braille Plus have a Braille display. They have Eloquence 
speech. I bought a docking station with a qwerty keyboard, better speakers 
and longer battery life. Even so, the battery didn't last long. The full 
package cost about $2,300.
