>for blind and visually impaired people.  In March 2005, GW Micro 
>officially announced it would be selling a new notetaker, the 
>Braille Sense.  Since then, software updates have been free for the 
>Braille Sense, and it continues thrive in the notetaker market.

>This year, GW Micro is proud to announce the next generation of the 
>Braille Sense:  the Braille Sense Plus.  The Braille Sense Plus 
>continues in the tradition of the original Braille Sense by keeping 
>its user removable battery.  The Braille Sense Plus adds an SD slot 
>to its already numerous features.  The LCD has been improved for 
>larger font size, making it easier for teachers of the visually 
>impaired and other sighted people to see what is on the display.  It 
>boasts an impressive 8 GB of built-in memory (the largest in any 
>notetaker) and 128 MB of RAM for quick response time.  The Braille 
>Sense Plus keeps the built-in Ethernet port, serial port, and VGA 
>Port, along with one CF slot, two USB ports, and more.
>
>The Braille Sense Plus even contains a key lock switch to lock 
>either the top panel or all keys to make it easy to listen to music 
>without the need to worry about bumping any buttons.  The Braille 
>Sense Plus also now includes built-in Wi-Fi (with 802.11 b/g 
>support) and built-in Bluetooth.
