40 Cells of Refreshable Braille - Plus BluetoothR


The New Focus 40 Blue from Freedom Scientific


(St. Petersburg, Florida - June 22, 2009) - Freedom Scientific today
announced the Focus 40 Blue, the latest addition to its popular Focus line
of braille displays.

The Focus 40 Blue offers 40 cells of refreshable braille, Bluetooth 2.0 for
wireless connectivity up to 30 feet, a Perkins-style braille keyboard, and
USB 2.0 support that also charges the unit when connected - all in a new
compact package that is 40 percent smaller than the current Focus 40.

"The Focus 40 Blue gives you braille anywhere, on a wide range of devices,"
said Jonathan Mosen, Freedom Scientific's Vice President of Hardware Product
Management. "With 40 cells of braille, it's powerful enough to do serious
work, yet its small size and handy carrying case make it easy to take with
you everywhere. The Bluetooth connection, which runs for 20 hours between
charges in typical use, is great for working on the move with a laptop
running JAWSR. Take your Focus 40 Blue to a lectern for example, and run a
PowerPoint presentation wirelessly from your braille display, or leave your
PC in your bag during your commute, and work with just the Focus 40 Blue." 

The Focus 40 Blue is designed to accommodate everyone's braille preferences,
with a range of navigation methods including WHIZWHEELSR, thumb keys, and
rocker bars. There are 10 hot keys that can be configured to perform
frequently used functions for maximum productivity. You can even set the
firmness of the braille dots to your personal taste with VariBraille.

"The Focus 40 Blue incorporates Freedom Scientific's seamless braille cell
construction, so it feels like reading braille on paper," added Mosen. "When
used with JAWS, the two rows of keys above the braille cells support Freedom
Scientific's unique Braille Study Mode, an interactive tool for teaching and
learning braille." 

The new braille display will begin shipping in July and is priced at $4,495
with a 2-year warranty.
