  Yes, this is a request we've had a couple times.  It's on the list.

  Be careful about this one.  The Icon and Braille+ are technically USB 2.0 as
  well, but we don't advertise them as such, because they're not USB 2.0 high
  speed, which is what people expect.  USB 2.0 full speed, which is what most
  of these devices support, is basically the same speeds as USB 1.1.  So, you
  can't just talk about USB 1.1 or 2.0, you also need to mention USB high
  speed and/or ful speed.  And, suspiciously, USB 2.0 high speed isn't
  mentioned on any of the websites for the products you mention.

  So, while many products say they support USB 2.0, they only support USB 2.0
  full speed which is basically the same as USB 1.1, and is in fact what we
  support as well.  So, to make sure people know exactly what they're getting,
  we specify supporting USB 1.1, because that's effectively the speeds you
  get.
