Hi
thanks, yes i know what you mean, if you have an iPad already then 
probably not worth the upgrade, as for me it's my first iPad as quoted 
in the original thread.


Best wishes for Christmas and 2014 Chris

I absolutely do not want my IOS devices to look like a piece of adaptive

One thing about the new IPAD. The 4g selling point is an USA mobile (cellular) 
standard. I do not know if it is something available in Europe. I believe it 
use's a 1800 frequency. So countries like Australia cannot use the 4g component.


I wish the hell the Telco industry would standardise mobile technology so 
everyone uses the same frequency. But licences and governments like to screw 
people around.

2012-03-08 Thread Nicolai Svendsen
Hi,

Just to correct you here. Yes, Apple does allow it, and yes they do exist, but 
experimentally so. However, the companies haven't made it into a regular 
keyboard such as the ones you can set under Keyboard preferences in Settings, 
which is also possible to do without any particular access to any source code. 
You don't need any low-level access in iOS to do this, so if the company can 
make it a workable solution, it's perfectly able to be worthwhile. I admit it'd 
be interesting to try, but it wouldn't make me faster.

Even so, though, the fact it is a small demand makes Apple less likely to do 
it. Most companies probably wouldn't go for small-demand features, at least, 
not often I'd think.

Regards,
Nicolai

Re: new ipad

2012-03-08 Thread 1smart...@cox.net
If only you could see the look on my face! Although I do know some folks, 
both sighted and blind who could use two-handed instructions on said toilet 
paper.


I absolutely do not want my IOS devices to look like a piece of adaptive 
equipment. My very nice never used beautiful Perkins braille writer has dust 
all over the cover and my Braille keyboard Voice Note has a dead battery and 
is in a drawer somewhere.

And you honestly consider that to be a reasonable request?  I'll go you 
one better.  How about demanding that every sheet of toilet paper be 
embossed with Braille instructions describing how to locate the area of 
application? After all, as a blind person I may never be able to locate it 
otherwise?


My concern is that if a company takes the steps that Apple has and people 
demand modifications such as you describe, as a CEO I'd take that as an 
indication that I need to get out of the business and leave it to the 
access technology people to worry about accessibility.  And ironically, I 
suspect most blind people would prefer to work with a QWERTY!!

  I can tell you how many times I read these knee jerk reactions like 
this.

People seem to foget that the iPad and other devices are not marketed for
the blind.  The vast majority of the market share are sighted folks. 
Thus,

the bells and whistles are going to be orientated for that population.

However, as pointed out, that does not at all mean that the
improvements to the processor and camera won't benefit the blind.  It is 
a

vast improvement overall, and as with any new iDevice, the extent of the
improvements are never apparent from the presentation and don't seem to 
get

fully realized until the device is being sold and third party developers
really start taking advantage of its new specs.

So, if you don't need a new iPad or you are happy with what you have,
that is fine.  The new iPad may not be for you.  However, don't make snap
reactions simply from a presentation that was not geared towards
accessibility and go assuming anything.

That is not a big demand!
Get real, it just an on-screen keyboard.
There are companies that have done it already, but Apple does not allow 
access to that level of the source code.
There are a lot of Blind folks who can use a Braille keyboard, and have 
never typed on a computer keyboard.
Either you did not think out your response, or you did not get what I meant 
by a Perkins-style on-screen keyboard.

Also it should be remembered that developers might be able to add functionality 
to existing software because of improved hardware for example the higher 
quality camera might improve o.c.r apps and other scanning software for 
voiceover to work with.

Far to early to rush to judgement imho.
