Re: [Blind-Computing] I-phones
But a word of caution: Although the IPhone 3GS has built-in speech, it employs touch screen navigation rather than discrete buttons, which some blind users have reported difficulty learning .

Only the latest iPhone is accessible however. The iPhone 3GS. It has a built in screenreader called Voice over. you can check www.apple.com for some information about the iPhone 3GS and accessibility. I don't know if you've ever seen the iPhone, but it is solid touchscreen. This bothers some, and some love it. That is a personal opinion, and a disicion only you can make. As far as how well the iPhone 3GS screenreader "VoiceOver" works, it works with every thing on the device. Weather, Internet browser, contacts, ETC, ETC. It even works with quite a few 3rd party applications that are what makes the iPhone so popular. There are 2 iPhone mailing lists I know of, ones a yahoo group, the other google group. I believe the subscribe address for the yahoo group is aiphone-subscr...@yahoogroups.com and I am not sure about the google list, maybe viphone-subscr...@googlegroups.com but not sure about that last address.

It has speech but I don't know how good or easy to use it is I have been told that you can tap the keys on the on screen keyboard and be told what the letter is then tapping it again will insert the letter that's as much as I know about it but can tell you more after Christmas as the grand daughter will have hers by then lol -Original Message- From: blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Paula Kilburn Sent: Monday, November 30, 2009 3:18 PM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: [Blind-Computing] I-phones Hi all, I don't know if this is the right question to ask on this list but does anyone know how good the I-phone is to use and does it have speech?
