Subject: Braille Sense price change


When the Braille Sense was introduced to North America by GW Micro and HIMS
in March of 2005, we indicated the price was an introductory price.  We held
this price since then but the time has come when we must make an adjustment.

Beginning August 1, 2006 the price of the Braille Sense will rise to
$5495.00.  While no one enjoys price increases, this still keeps it lower
than the competition.  If you were considering a purchase - now is the time.

On the positive side, when this was released we stated that firmware
upgrades would be free for one year after the initial purchase.  So far,
this has not been enforced, and free upgrades have continued to be provided
even after one year from the purchase date.  In the past year, these free
upgrades have provided a DAISY player, improved WI-FI support, BLUETOOTH
support plus the upcoming support of MSN Messenger and a Database Manager.

This is also a good time to announce a brand new feature - Braille Sense
support for the JAWS screen reader.  Even though our competitor stated it
was not in their best business interest to support the Braille Sense, we
believe high quality products should be made available and then let the
customer decide what is best.  To learn more about this and to download the
necessary file, go to

After you download the driver and follow the installation steps, you may use
your Braille Sense as a Braille display with the JAWS screen reader.

Finally, please remember our Bookshare promotion will be done at the end of
July.  This is the promotion where every Braille Sense sold in the U.S.
includes a complementary one year subscription to Bookshare.org.  We are
happy to work closely with on this promotion and I am sure those of you that
took advantage of it are learning the benefits of Bookshare.org.
