[GW-Booksense] iPod versus iPhone versus iPad [was "Important Announcement Regarding GW Micro and HIMS Partnership"]

Mon, 25 Oct 2010 16:03:00 -0700

To get just the difference in features between the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, you can go to a site like http://ipod.about.com/od/ipadcomparisons/a/ipad-iphone-3gs-ipod-touch.htm. Of course, this isn't meant to take the place of Melissa's impression of the different devices or the quality of the speech synthesizer being used.
Just a suggestion, but you may want to change the subject line in the future. You may get more answers to your questions if the subject line reflects what you're asking. I know I stopped paying attention to this thread a few days ago, and it's only because I'm using a different email client that I noticed this question that I thought I could help answer, with Google's help that is.

Hi Milissa. I am thinking of getting one of these devices but am not 
sure which one I want and was also wondering about the voice quality 
etc. Would you be willing to write me off list. I am thinking of 
either the phone or just the I pad And was wondering about the 
differences between the I pad and the I pad touch.

Robert,


You are mistaken, the IPod touch, IPhone, Ipad, as well as the Mac 
all work

with Braille displays. As an IPhone user myself, using it with a Braille

display far surpasses my experience of using a PackMate and a 
VoiceSense. I
understand that a touch screen isn't for everyone but by the same 
token, the

"ghetto over priced note takers for the blind are also not for everyone.

Milissa

   The average blind person cannot afford any of the adaptive products
available.  But we still need them one way or another.


   The iPod is nothing like a note taker.  It has no braille display 
which
many blind people need and cannot afford..  Your hearing goes south, 
what

good is the iPod then.

I can't see how the average blind person can aford to buy a notetaker?
They cost so much money!  This is what attracted me to the Ipod touch.
After listening to several podcasts on how voiceover works, all of the

things you can do with it, I said to myself, I got to have one.  And 
now I

do.

   I roo want such a device, like the Braille Sense Plus. 
Unfortunately,



its way out of my reach and I have been unable to get grants for one.

But the fact that HIMS will be taking over from GW Micro does not 
worry

me. It wont affect my chances of getting a BSP in any way and my
BookSense will work just fine.

   And having a direct line to HIMS may be more productive too tho the
likes of Raul will be missed.

No, the Ipod wouldn't meet my needs. I want the computer and the 
braille



display to be in one unit.
