GW Micro Announces the Braille Sense Plus
Mar-13-2008GW Micro continues to lead the way with new and innovative products 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 to 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.
In addition to the many hardware upgrades, the new Braille Sense Plus now runs on Windows CE 5, allows the end-user to record directly to MP3 format, and GW Sense Navigation can even be run on the Braille Sense Plus to utilize GPS.
The Braille Sense Plus retails for an introductory price of $5,995, and will begin shipping in May. For questions or comments, email us at sales@gwmicro.com or call us at (260) 489-3671. Make sure to check out the Braille Sense Plus on the web at www.gwmicro.com/Braille_Sense/Braille_Sense_Plus
