>(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 JAWS®. 
>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 WHIZWHEELS®, 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.
