Hi Anders,
What is it you like about the HandyTechs?
Getting back to the original question: As for me, I've never had the nerve
to ask for an 80-character display so don't miss the (to me extravagant)
length. 40 is the length of a braille printed page and I've always found
that adequate. (As far as that goes, before the advent of grade 2 books on
the internet I was happy with a 12-character display, though I doubt I would
be now!)
I've never seen any of these wireless ones that use Bluetooth but the idea
is intriguing. Still, if you're thinking of one that will stay in one place
a cabled display isn't a bad idea probably. If you might be carrying a
laptop and a display then you might want to see whether there's an easy
option to carry them both conveniently.
But if you're going to be doing a lot of traveling a notetaker with a
detachable display might be good. The PAC Mate fits together so solidly
you'd never know the display was detachable, but it is and can be used (via
USB cable) with a regular computer.
