FAQs:

• What is the difference between the Via Mini and the Via Pro? 
  The Via Mini is a smaller, 8-inch version of the 11-inch Via Pro.  

• What are the main differences between the Via Mini and the TouchChat Express 8 and PRiO^®-mini? 
  The Via Mini maintains the iOS familiarity but is more durable to drops/falls and more protective against water/dust than our previous 8-inch iOS devices. This added durability accounts for slight increases in weight and size. 

• Can I recommend the Via Mini after trialing or evaluating with the TouchChat Express 8 or PRiO-mini?
  The Via Mini is a new and upgraded version of our previous 8-inch iOS devices, the TouchChat Express 8 and PRiO-mini. Most funding sources will accept a trial and or evaluation of a previous device, as long as there is proper explanation and justification.
