HumanWare
Launches the BrailleNote Apex
HumanWare has
just launched the newest member of the BrailleNote family, the BrailleNote Apex,
the thinnest and lightest of note takers.
Powerful, but
slim at just 2 cm (0.78˝) and weighing only 812 grams (1.8 lbs), the BrailleNote
Apex is designed for on the go portability and high functionality. The advanced
technology features the acclaimed KeySoft Version 9, a comprehensive suite of
productivity applications with feature-rich content.
Intelligent
ergonomics have always been the benchmark of HumanWare products. A comfortable
full-size Braille or QWERTY keyboard makes note taking quick and easy, while
HumanWare’s signature thumb keys make extensive braille reading
effortless.
Multiple storage
options define the BrailleNote Apex's productivity with its 8 GB of internal
memory and support for high capacity SDHC cards, along with 4 high-speed USB 2.0
ports, built-in Wi-Fi, Ethernet and Bluetooth.
Almost ten years
after the introduction of the BrailleNote, the revolutionary BrailleNote Apex is
the ninth note taking device in a line of products, a vital part of the global
information age since 2000.
HumanWare CEO,
Gilles Pepin, will confirm HumanWare's support of braille literacy and the
company's commitment to the development of innovative braille products. Product
Specialists will discuss the new hardware additions and explain the agility and
capabilities that the upgraded Windows CE 6 establishes to develop future
KeySoft applications.
