Hi Johnny and Others. I went to the Apple store and got the Apple Wireless Keyboard. The only thing you need to know ahead of time is that the battery power key on the righthand side does not let you know when it's off and on if you're blind. You can easily work around this, but I ran the battery down the first time until I was told by Apple that I did have to turn it off manually. Sometimes, if you turn it off first before telling the iPhone to turn Bluetooth on and off.
Since Apple said that you have to hold the power key down about three seconds, I work around this by hold it down and counting to ten. II do this for turning it on and off, and it works fine. I do have a bblind friend who got a keyboard from Fries that folds in half. Someone told me they thought those were prone to breaking, so I didn't go that route. This one from Apple is like having a little Mac keyboard, so you can do the VO keys.
