The Braille Mate is not out yet.  They are saying June, but there
are those who doubt that.  It will cost $1600 for the basic model I
am told with an additional $384 for the ram card.  You need the
card though to get the speech to work, so you are talking about two
thousand bucks.  They have announced it and are taking peoples
money I understand.  That is pretty presumptuous for a product that
isn't done yet.  Just probably trhing to take business away from
Blazie.
