Re: iOS7 Jailbreak Released

[Ben Mustill-Rose]

Hi,

I surpose it depends on the sort of thing you're wanting to do with
your device. If you like accessing the file system, changing voices&
making custom actions with activator then yes, jailbreaking is always
going to hold some appeal to you.

However, these just aren't things that the average user isn't going to
want to do, in fact, I'd perhaps go as far as saying that the average
user really shouldn't be exposed to the file system anyway.

Perhaps I didn't phrase my previous message overly well. There are
still many reasons to jailbreak, but it's by no means something that
everyone needs to do.

Cheers,
Ben.

 Subject: iOS7 Jailbreak Released

 Hi,

 Just a quick message to let everyone know that as of around a day ago
 iOS7 is jailbreakable; it was released at very short notice and with a
 healthy dose of drama as per usual.
 I would suggest that people wait a few days before jailbreaking their
 devices so we are able to gage the reliability of the jailbreak; this
 has always been my recommendation for jailbreaks but it is more
 important with this one than previous ones due to a potentially
 incompatible version of Cydia. Having said this, I intend to jailbreak
 an iPad running 7 later today and will report back once done.

 For those of you wanting to give it a go, visit http://evasi0n.com/ to
 get started.

 Some frequently asked questions relating to jailbreaking and some
 things to bare in mind:

 1: Before applying the jailbreak make sure that you updated to iOS7
 through iTunes as opposed to the over the air method.
 2: Perform a backup via iTunes or iCloud just to be safe.
 3: Voiceover is unaffected.
 4: If something doesn't work out or if you don't like your phone being
 jailbroken you can restore through iTunes to undoo it.
 5: Jailbreaking does void your warranty. It is however worth baring in
 mind that if your phone is still usable enough that iTunes sees it,
 you can simply restore it to a non jailbroken iOS7 and Apple will not
 know that you were previously jailbroken.
 6: Jailbreaking brings lots of benefits; have a Google or read some of
 the previous posts on this list or Applevis to get an idea of the
 possibilities.

 Cheers,
 Ben.

Yes, first hide dial pad. Then you'll find the mute button, along with a
button to add a call and another one to put the call on speaker along with
the keypad and I think that's it, could be wrong. Lol.

Re: iOS7 Jailbreak Released

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hi, SMS on GV and Call on GV are now working with iPhone 5s, and those 
are the primary reasons for me jailbreaking in the first place. Oh, and 
just yesterday BiteSMS released beta 8.07 which also works with iPhone 
5s. Another reason to jailbreak as the messages app on iPhone can be 
quite plain when compared to BiteSMS.


Also, AppLocker, a tweak which allows you to lock any app with password 
protection, including the Settings app, for prying children, or other 
things like Messages, your bank app, ETC, is now working with iPhone 5s 
and even uses the finger ID to unlock your apps if necessary rather than 
the password.


So yeah, Jailbreaking iOS 7 is up and going well. In fact, I've had a 
better time jailbreaking iOS 7 than I did iOS 6.

Re: iOS7 Jailbreak Released

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hi, can't speak for Ben, but below are some of the reasons why 
jailbreaking isn't quite as sexy as it used to be for me. Other than the 
Google Voice integration, which is still the primary reason for me to do 
it, the reasons below no longer seem important.


iOS added the control center. Much of this functionality used to be done 
with SBSettings, now the Control Center takes care of that.


iOS added the ability to block callers via messages, phone, or Facetime. 
Previously you had to use a jailbreak tweak to get this functionality.


iOS added ability for more than 12 apps per folder. Again, jailbreak 
tweaks were needed to get this.


Do you see the pattern? Apple might openly say that jailbreaking is akin 
to going to hell, yet new features in iOS 7 give you functionality which 
jailbreakers have enjoyed for years. So, Apple I think sees that some of 
the things which iOS 7 now does might not be so bad and that 
jailbreakers have the right idea.


Once Apple adds custom gestures to open apps or do neat things like 
toggle wi-fi or whatever, then there will be no more need for Activator, 
another wonderful jailbreak tweak.

I'm curious Ben, why do you and Raul think the reasons to jail break are

improvements in the App Switcher which provide some functionality you

a lot to be gained by jail breaking, such as changing some of the
defaults, like the keyboard, browser, TTS and so on, getting access to
the underlying file system and more. I'm not trying to argue with you;
I'm sincerely curious, and I'm guessing there's something I haven't
thought about.

I've jail broken my iPhone in the past, but one of my favorite apps
won't run on a jail broken phone, so I haven't jail broken in a while,

the jail broken space.

Hi,

I also feel that it is ready for general use, but as Raul said
previously, in all fairness to Apple, the reasons for jailbreaking,
especially for blind people are getting fewer and fewer.

Cheers,

Subject: iOS7 Jailbreak Released

Hi,

Just a quick message to let everyone know that as of around a day ago
iOS7 is jailbreakable; it was released at very short notice and with a
healthy dose of drama as per usual.
I would suggest that people wait a few days before jailbreaking their
devices so we are able to gage the reliability of the jailbreak; this
has always been my recommendation for jailbreaks but it is more
important with this one than previous ones due to a potentially
incompatible version of Cydia. Having said this, I intend to jailbreak
an iPad running 7 later today and will report back once done.

For those of you wanting to give it a go, visit http://evasi0n.com/ to
get started.

Some frequently asked questions relating to jailbreaking and some
things to bare in mind:

1: Before applying the jailbreak make sure that you updated to iOS7
through iTunes as opposed to the over the air method.
2: Perform a backup via iTunes or iCloud just to be safe.
3: Voiceover is unaffected.
4: If something doesn't work out or if you don't like your phone being
jailbroken you can restore through iTunes to undoo it.
5: Jailbreaking does void your warranty. It is however worth baring in
mind that if your phone is still usable enough that iTunes sees it,
you can simply restore it to a non jailbroken iOS7 and Apple will not
know that you were previously jailbroken.
6: Jailbreaking brings lots of benefits; have a Google or read some of
the previous posts on this list or Applevis to get an idea of the
possibilities.

Cheers,
Ben.

Any ideas of the timeframe for new iPod Touch?

[Robin Christopherson]

Dear listers

It’s my daughter’s birthday coming up at the beginning of Feb and I was 
wondering if anyone had any idea when new iPod Touches were due. I’d hate to 
get it and the next day a new gen pops up., Reports of any rumblings at all 
would be gratefully received.

Thanks, Robin.

Re: Any ideas of the timeframe for new iPod Touch?

I think the latest iPod touch at this time is the fifth gen iPod touch. If you 
get this iPod touch you can install iOS 7. Any thing lower then the iPod 5 will 
not run iOS 7.

RE: Any ideas of the timeframe for new iPod Touch?

[Richard Turner]

If Apple's history is anything to go by, they seem to release a new touch
about every two years in the Fall.

If that pattern holds, then there might be a new touch in September or
October.

That is, of course, pure speculation.  I've seen nothing rumored out there
at all.

 Hi, it's true that paying per month gets very expensive, but it has the
 huge advantage that it only costs you $10 to find out if the program will
 really work for you and if it doesn't, then you are only out that one
 amount. Also, if you don't travel much and only need it occasionally, you
 could pay for those times you will need it, assuming of course that you
 will need it less than 6 or 7 times per year since then the cost per year
 or 3 years would start to be better anyway. I think they mainly did this

Re: does itunes card work for payment for subscriptions as well?

[Ricardo Walker]

Hi,

This isn’t necessarily true.  In app purchases are also charged to your method 
of payment associated with your Apple ID.  So for example, if the app you have 
requires a subscription, and one of the options to purchase a subscription is 
via an in app purchase like MLB at bat for example, your card will be charged 
thats associated with your iTunes account.

RE: iOS7 Jailbreak Released

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Raul,

I think using handwriting to find and open apps is about as close to using
custom gestures as you can get and the advantage is that with a few gestures
I can find any app on my phone not just those I set up custom gestures for.
With 24 apps now on the first home screen + dock and handwriting for the
less used apps which are on other home pages or in folders it's pretty good.

I really like the idea of what you said about App Locker. I am not really
worried about bank apps because you have to log in anyways, other apps like
Air Canada, Roboform (the password app I use) and others offer the option to
set a password in the app, but it would be nice if Apple offered this
although I think you could do this with guided access, couldn't you?

Thanks,
Sieghard

Hi, can't speak for Ben, but below are some of the reasons why jailbreaking
isn't quite as sexy as it used to be for me. Other than the Google Voice
integration, which is still the primary reason for me to do it, the reasons
below no longer seem important.

iOS added the control center. Much of this functionality used to be done
with SBSettings, now the Control Center takes care of that.

iOS added the ability to block callers via messages, phone, or Facetime. 
Previously you had to use a jailbreak tweak to get this functionality.

iOS added ability for more than 12 apps per folder. Again, jailbreak tweaks
were needed to get this.

Do you see the pattern? Apple might openly say that jailbreaking is akin to
going to hell, yet new features in iOS 7 give you functionality which
jailbreakers have enjoyed for years. So, Apple I think sees that some of the
things which iOS 7 now does might not be so bad and that jailbreakers have
the right idea.

Once Apple adds custom gestures to open apps or do neat things like toggle
wi-fi or whatever, then there will be no more need for Activator, another
wonderful jailbreak tweak.

 Hi,

 Just a quick message to let everyone know that as of around a day 
 ago
 iOS7 is jailbreakable; it was released at very short notice and 
 with a healthy dose of drama as per usual.
 I would suggest that people wait a few days before jailbreaking 
 their devices so we are able to gage the reliability of the 
 jailbreak; this has always been my recommendation for jailbreaks 
 but it is more important with this one than previous ones due to a 
 potentially incompatible version of Cydia. Having said this, I 
 intend to jailbreak an iPad running 7 later today and will report back
once done.

 For those of you wanting to give it a go, visit http://evasi0n.com/ 
 to get started.

 Some frequently asked questions relating to jailbreaking and some 
 things to bare in mind:

 1: Before applying the jailbreak make sure that you updated to iOS7 
 through iTunes as opposed to the over the air method.
 2: Perfo

RE: does itunes card work for payment for subscriptions as well?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Ricardo,

I think you are correct as far as in-app purchases are concerned. However,
for some reason any iTunes credit balance is not used if you gift an app. I
just gifted a 99 Cent app to 2 different friends here in Canada and even
though I have over $100 of iTunes credit, the credit card I have on file was
charged for this purchase. Just thought I mention it.

Take care,
Sieghard

Hi,

This isn’t necessarily true.  In app purchases are also charged to your
method of payment associated with your Apple ID.  So for example, if the app
you have requires a subscription, and one of the options to purchase a
subscription is via an in app purchase like MLB at bat for example, your
card will be charged thats associated with your iTunes account.

Good afternoon Raul.  I am wondering about the Google voice integration you

of how to apply it?  My phone and IPad are jailbroken, and I am not new to

Hi, can't speak for Ben, but below are some of the reasons why jailbreaking
isn't quite as sexy as it used to be for me. Other than the Google Voice
integration, which is still the primary reason for me to do it, the reasons
below no longer seem important.

iOS added the control center. Much of this functionality used to be done
with SBSettings, now the Control Center takes care of that.

iOS added the ability to block callers via messages, phone, or Facetime. 
Previously you had to use a jailbreak tweak to get this functionality.

iOS added ability for more than 12 apps per folder. Again, jailbreak tweaks
were needed to get this.

Do you see the pattern? Apple might openly say that jailbreaking is akin to
going to hell, yet new features in iOS 7 give you functionality which
jailbreakers have enjoyed for years. So, Apple I think sees that some of the
things which iOS 7 now does might not be so bad and that jailbreakers have
the right idea.

Once Apple adds custom gestures to open apps or do neat things like toggle
wi-fi or whatever, then there will be no more need for Activator, another
wonderful jailbreak tweak.

 Hi,

 Just a quick message to let everyone know that as of around a day

 iOS7 is jailbreakable; it was released at very short notice and 
 with a healthy dose of drama as per usual.
 I would suggest that people wait a few days before jailbreaking 
 their devices so we are able to gage the reliability of the 
 jailbreak; this has always been my recommendation for jailbreaks 
 but it is more important with this one than previous ones due to a 
 potentially incompatible version of Cydia. Having said this, I 
 intend to jailbreak an iPad running 7 later today and will report back
once done.

 Some frequently asked questions relating to jailbreaking and some 
 things to bare in mind:

 1: Before applying the jailbreak make sure that you updated to iOS7

 2: Perform a backup via iTunes or iCloud just to be safe.

Hi.  There are all kinds of interesting tweaks, though it takes some trial
and error to figure out what works well with V/O, what doesn't, and what is
stable or not.  
One of my favorite tweaks is for those who use the SiriusXM app.  
It is called Sirius Forever.  It is a free tweak that disables the hourly
interruption to the stream that requires you to tap the "Keep listening"
button in order to resume the stream.
I'll post some of the other tweaks I like shortly.

Looking for a euro duckhead adaptor for iPad

[Cristóbal]

Hello list,

 

So I’m in the process of sending an iPad to my in-laws in Germany so that
they and my wife can use the Facetime feature for better communication.

My question is for folks who’ve done international travel. As this tablet is
only going to be used in germany, I’m reluctant to buy the Apple World
Travelr kit for $40.00 that has all the various plugs for different parts of
the world as it seems entirely unnecessary. My understanding is that all
what is really needed is the proper euro duckhead adaptor for the wall
charger, but poking around online, I mostly get results from eBay and
Amazon. The eBay duckhead adaptors are often from Asia and the Amazon
results don’t’ give much if any information. I contacted my local Apple
store and they said that they  don’t sell these duckhead adaptors
individually. The simplest solution and the one the Apple guy recommended is
that my in-laws go to an Apple store and buy one, but this is not practicle
as they do’t live anywhere near such a store and are not technologically
inclined. SO they’re not about to buy one online. I’d like to just be able
to send them the tablet ready out of the box. 

Can anyone recommend any particular euro duckhead adaptor or online store
where they had success with their products? 

 

Thanks,

 Hi, first off let me say that I have only been using the Seeing Eye GPS 
 app from Sendero for several days. The first thing I noticed was how easy 
 it is to use. Virtually nothing needs to be set up and configured with it. 
 It speaks the necessary information about street crossings as you walk. If 
 you are riding in a vehicle and are going relatively fast, then the 
 intersections are suppressed. If you are in a route, it clearly gives turn 
 by turn information and it's very easy to figure out what it means.
 
 I'm still not sure if I will continue using it as my primary gps source 
 however, but this isn't through any fault of the app. Prior to trying out 
 this app, I usually use a combination of BlindSquare or Ariadne to know 
 where I am at a given point and Google Maps or MapQuest or Apple Maps for 
 turn by turn directions. Along with those apps, Hop Stop for bus 
 information and Metro Trip for my local bus information. Yes, this is a 
 combination of multiple apps. However quite often I don't need to use more 
 than one at a time. If I'm walking somewhere to get from point A to point 
 B usually Ariadne or BlindSquare is used. I'm not in situations where I 
 need walking directions to get somewhere because usually when I go 
 somewhere I've already got the directions down and I just use 
 non-technical orientation and mobility skills to find what I'm looking 
 for. In a case where a building might need to be found, then Ariadne or 
 BlindSquare is good about telling me what address range I'm in to make 
 sure I'm in the right area. For times when I'm riding in a vehicle, Google 
 Maps is the preferred choice app because its directions are spot on, and 
 because the app gives the necessary information in such a way that both me 
 and my sighted driver can use the information. If I were to rely only on 
 Seeing Eye GPS for driving directions, then I couldn't easily share it 
 with my driver because in most cases I would have to turn down the speech 
 rate  of Voice Over and on top of that, it's text only and most sighted 
 people like the visual map elements.
 
 Don't get me wrong, I think this app is great and I still feel that for 
 many people it will be better than the alternative apps mentioned above. 
 As a technology trainer myself I will be more than happy to recommend this 
 to some of my clients who might benefit from it. However for me personally 
 I don't think it will be my primary gps app of choice. The one thing which 
 I really like, and like a lot, is its feature of telling you when a street 
 is coming up and if it's a street which spans left and right, or only left 
 or only right.
 
 I hope this helps.

Hi, you should be able to get one at any electronics store like The Source,
Radio Shack, Best Buy etc.

Subject: Looking for a euro duckhead adaptor for iPad

 

Hello list,

 

So I’m in the process of sending an iPad to my in-laws in Germany so that
they and my wife can use the Facetime feature for better communication.

My question is for folks who’ve done international travel. As this tablet is
only going to be used in germany, I’m reluctant to buy the Apple World
Travelr kit for $40.00 that has all the various plugs for different parts of
the world as it seems entirely unnecessary. My understanding is that all
what is really needed is the proper euro duckhead adaptor for the wall
charger, but poking around online, I mostly get results from eBay and
Amazon. The eBay duckhead adaptors are often from Asia and the Amazon
results don’t’ give much if any information. I contacted my local Apple
store and they said that they  don’t sell these duckhead adaptors
individually. The simplest solution and the one the Apple guy recommended is
that my in-laws go to an Apple store and buy one, but this is not practicle
as they do’t live anywhere near such a store and are not technologically
inclined. SO they’re not about to buy one online. I’d like to just be able
to send them the tablet ready out of the box. 

Can anyone recommend any particular euro duckhead adaptor or online store
where they had success with their products? 

 

Thanks,

Hi,

You can probably use it for iBooks, but Skype credit you have to buy from

 Hi, first off let me say that I have only been using the Seeing Eye GPS
app from Sendero for several days. The first thing I noticed was how easy it
is to use. Virtually nothing needs to be set up and configured with it. It
speaks the necessary information about street crossings as you walk. If you
are riding in a vehicle and are going relatively fast, then the
intersections are suppressed. If you are in a route, it clearly gives turn
by turn information and it's very easy to figure out what it means.
 
 I'm still not sure if I will continue using it as my primary gps source
however, but this isn't through any fault of the app. Prior to trying out
this app, I usually use a combination of BlindSquare or Ariadne to know
where I am at a given point and Google Maps or MapQuest or Apple Maps for
turn by turn directions. Along with those apps, Hop Stop for bus information
and Metro Trip for my local bus information. Yes, this is a combination of
multiple apps. However quite often I don't need to use more than one at a
time. If I'm walking somewhere to get from point A to point B usually
Ariadne or BlindSquare is used. I'm not in situations where I need walking
directions to get somewhere because usually when I go somewhere I've already
got the directions down and I just use non-technical orientation and
mobility skills to find what I'm looking for. In a case where a building
might need to be found, then Ariadne or BlindSquare is good about telling me
what address range I'm in to make sure I'm in the right area. For times when
I'm riding in a vehicle, Google Maps is the preferred choice app because its
directions are spot on, and because the app gives the necessary information
in such a way that both me and my sighted driver can use the information. If
I were to rely only on Seeing Eye GPS for driving directions, then I
couldn't easily share it with my driver because in most cases I would have
to turn down the speech rate  of Voice Over and on top of that, it's text
only and most sighted people like the visual map elements.
 
 Don't get me wrong, I think this app is great and I still feel that for
many people it will be better than the alternative apps mentioned above. As
a technology trainer myself I will be more than happy to recommend this to
some of my clients who might benefit from it. However for me personally I
don't think it will be my primary gps app of choice. The one thing which I
really like, and like a lot, is its feature of telling you when a street is
coming up and if it's a street which spans left and right, or only left or
only right.
 
 I hope this helps.

Re: iOS7 Jailbreak Released

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hi, I believe that for general iOS 7 it is, but if you are on a 64-bit 
processor like the iPhone 5s, iPad Air, and iPad Mini Retina, then you 
have to get the Activator Beta. My recommendation is to check 
www.iphonehacks.com and you will know for sure.

Pandora Skips, iTunes Radio Unlimited, Call on GV Pro, SMS on GV, and

Subject: iOS7 Jailbreak Released

Hi,

Just a quick message to let everyone know that as of around a day ago
iOS7 is jailbreakable; it was released at very short notice and with a
healthy dose of drama as per usual.
I would suggest that people wait a few days before jailbreaking their
devices so we are able to gage the reliability of the jailbreak; this
has always been my recommendation for jailbreaks but it is more
important with this one than previous ones due to a potentially
incompatible version of Cydia. Having said this, I intend to jailbreak
an iPad running 7 later today and will report back once done.

For those of you wanting to give it a go, visit http://evasi0n.com/ to
get started.

Some frequently asked questions relating to jailbreaking and some
things to bare in mind:

1: Before applying the jailbreak make sure that you updated to iOS7
through iTunes as opposed to the over the air method.
2: Perform a backup via iTunes or iCloud just to be safe.
3: Voiceover is unaffected.
4: If something doesn't work out or if you don't like your phone being
jailbroken you can restore through iTunes to undoo it.
5: Jailbreaking does void your warranty. It is however worth baring in
mind that if your phone is still usable enough that iTunes sees it,
you can simply restore it to a non jailbroken iOS7 and Apple will not
know that you were previously jailbroken.
6: Jailbreaking brings lots of benefits; have a Google or read some of
the previous posts on this list or Applevis to get an idea of the
possibilities.

Cheers,
Ben.

Google Voice and jailbreaking - Was Re: iOS7 Jailbreak Released

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hello Melissa and all interested. Basically it's like this, you can set 
up a free Google Voice number at http://voice.google.com and forward it 
to your iPhone number, or any other number by choice. In my case, my 
real cell iPhone number is the primary number it forwards to. This means 
that when people call my GV number, it rings my cell phone. If I want to 
call that person back, or make outgoing calls which appear from my GV 
number rather than my real cell number, I have to either use a direct 
dial method or call back method via the Google Voice App or my favorite, 
GV Connect. Normally that is fine, and in most cases no problem. However 
if I am texting with someone, or if I see a number on a web page or if 
someone puts their number in an email, I can't just simply tap the 
number and call it and it come from my GV number. This is where 
jailbreaking and the Call on GV Pro and SMS on GV tweaks come into play. 
With Call on GV Pro, it fully integrates my GV number into the iPhone so 
that outgoing calls can be from my GV number. You choose the method of 
dialing out so you always use GV, or the tweak asks you if you want to 
choose carrier calls. It's completely flexible. Now for texting, when 
you have a GV number, it can be used to send texts back and forth with 
it. Normal SMS can be sent, but not MMS, which is used for pictures, 
videos, and audio. Again, if I want to text back and forth to and from 
my GV number and all outgoing texts need to show my GV number to hide my 
real cell number, I have to either use Google Voice app, or GV Connect. 
Another way is you can have Google forward all texts to your real cell 
and they are assigned a gateway number which is associated with that 
contact. This is very good the way it works, but let's say that someone 
with number 832-555-1234 writes me. I'll see an incoming text which 
shows 504-221-1922 and then the text shows 832-555-1234 followed by the 
text. As long as I respond to that 504 number, it will automatically 
forward to the real 832 number which wrote me. Again, not a big deal if 
I add that 504 into my contacts. I can even call it like normal, and the 
call will originate from my GV number. However again, if you want to 
initiate a text message, you have to use a Google Voice or GV Connect 
app. So, here comes jailbreaking and SMS on GV. It fully integrates the 
sms experience with my iPhone and so all I have to do is text someone 
like normal to their regular number and the incoming text they will see 
will be from my gv number. This also has the advantage that if another 
app sends out a text on your behalf, like sharing information, it will 
originate from your GV number.


I hope this helps, and if I can explains things further, please write me 
off list.


PS, a while back I wrote up a setup article on how to do all what I 
describe. The article is a bit outdated now since it was for iOS 5 I 
believe, but much of the same information applies. If I get requests off 
list, I can send that article to people. Again, off list for this.

Hi, can't speak for Ben, but below are some of the reasons why jailbreaking
isn't quite as sexy as it used to be for me. Other than the Google Voice
integration, which is still the primary reason for me to do it, the reasons
below no longer seem important.

iOS added the control center. Much of this functionality used to be done
with SBSettings, now the Control Center takes care of that.

iOS added the ability to block callers via messages, phone, or Facetime.
Previously you had to use a jailbreak tweak to get this functionality.

iOS added ability for more than 12 apps per folder. Again, jailbreak tweaks
were needed to get this.

Do you see the pattern? Apple might openly say that jailbreaking is akin to
going to hell, yet new features in iOS 7 give you functionality which
jailbreakers have enjoyed for years. So, Apple I think sees that some of the
things which iOS 7 now does might not be so bad and that jailbreakers have
the right idea.

Once Apple adds custom gestures to open apps or do neat things like toggle
wi-fi or whatever, then there will be no more need for Activator, another
wonderful jailbreak twea

Hi, first off let me say that I have only been using the Seeing Eye 
GPS app from Sendero for several days. The first thing I noticed was 
how easy it is to use. Virtually nothing needs to be set up and 
configured with it. It speaks the necessary information about street 
crossings as you walk. If you are riding in a vehicle and are going 
relatively fast, then the intersections are suppressed. If you are 
in a route, it clearly gives turn by turn information and it's very 
easy to figure out what it means.


I'm still not sure if I will continue using it as my primary gps 
source however, but this isn't through any fault of the app. Prior 
to trying out this app, I usually use a combination of BlindSquare 
or Ariadne to know where I am at a given point and Google Maps or 
MapQuest or Apple Maps for turn by turn directions. Along with those 
apps, Hop Stop for bus information and Metro Trip for my local bus 
information. Yes, this is a combination of multiple apps. However 
quite often I don't need to use more than one at a time. If I'm 
walking somewhere to get from point A to point B usually Ariadne or 
BlindSquare is used. I'm not in situations where I need walking 
directions to get somewhere because usually when I go somewhere I've 
already got the directions down and I just use non-technical 
orientation and mobility skills to find what I'm looking for. In a 
case where a building might need to be found, then Ariadne or 
BlindSquare is good about telling me what address range I'm in to 
make sure I'm in the right area. For times when I'm riding in a 
vehicle, Google Maps is the preferred choice app because its 
directions are spot on, and because the app gives the necessary 
information in such a way that both me and my sighted driver can use 
the information. If I were to rely only on Seeing Eye GPS for 
driving directions, then I couldn't easily share it with my driver 
because in most cases I would have to turn down the speech rate  of 
Voice Over and on top of that, it's text only and most sighted 
people like the visual map elements.


Don't get me wrong, I think this app is great and I still feel that 
for many people it will be better than the alternative apps 
mentioned above. As a technology trainer myself I will be more than 
happy to recommend this to some of my clients who might benefit from 
it. However for me personally I don't think it will be my primary 
gps app of choice. The one thing which I really like, and like a 
lot, is its feature of telling you when a street is coming up and if 
it's a street which spans left and right, or only left or only right.


I hope this helps.

Raul, I think you are one of those who knows how to cobble together the
several apps to get the same information as the Seeing Eye app gives you in
one app.  I have never used it, the following statement is just what I
gather from reading.I gather that its main plus is that the information one
must glean from several apps can be gained using only one app, its
simplicity to use, and its battery conservation, as compared to running
several apps at once.For those not so good at using an iPhone as are you,
this simplicity would be worth the subscription.  Now that you have
actually used it some, I am curious to know how
you like it?

Thanks for your opinion.

Hi, it's true that paying per month gets very expensive, but it has the
huge advantage that it only costs you $10 to find out if the program will
really work for you and if it doesn't, then you are only out that one
amount. Also, if you don't travel much and only need it occasionally, you
could pay for those times you will need it, assuming of course that you
will need it less than 6 or 7 times per year since then the cost per year
or 3 years would start to be better anyway. I think they mainly did this
to allow people to give it a spin. I'm taking advantage of that now and
can finally say that I know what the program is really like. So, I for
one
am glad they added the monthly subscription, for guys like me.

I cannot speak for how well it functions one way or the other on the Mac. I

That being said, the Kindle App on the iPhone and iPad works quite well!

  T-Mobile to pay off all early termination 
fees when you switch from AT&T, Sprint or Verizon
by MacDailyNews  
  [cfsp key="google_adsense_300x250"]T-Mobile is 
eliminating one of the last remaining obstacles for individuals and families 
wanting to switch from AT&T, Sprint or Verizon to the Uncarrier by offering to 
pay off their early termination fees. With an eligible phone trade-in, the 
total value of the offer to switch to T-Mobile could be as high as $650 per 
line. 

  "We're giving families a 'Get Out of Jail Free 
Card,' said John Legere, president and chief executive officer of T-Mobile, in 
a statement. "Carriers have counted on staggered contract end dates and hefty 
early termination fees to keep people bound to them forever. But now families 
can switch to T-Mobile without paying a single red cent to leave them behind."

  Customers have been attracted to T-Mobile for its 
no annual service contract Simple Choice Plan, industry-leading JUMP! upgrade 
program, unlimited global data at no extra charge in 100-plus countries, and 
most recently for Free Data for Life on every tablet - up to 200 MB of free 4G 
LTE data every month for as long as they own their tablet and use the 
registered device with T-Mobile. But Nielsen research suggests up to 40% of 
families hold back from switching because of high early termination fees 
(ETFs), and a recent online poll conducted by GigaOM suggests that 78% would 
switch to T-Mobile if their ETF was paid. ETFs can cost as much as $350 per 
line. Multiply that two, three or four times for a family, and switching 
becomes an extremely expensive proposition.

  "Carriers like to make you think you're just 
signing up for two years with their family plans, but with staggered expiration 
dates and early termination fees, they're really locking you in forever," said 
Mike Sievert, chief marketing officer for T-Mobile, in a statement. "Now, 
families are free to switch without worrying about early termination fees. And 
by switching to T-Mobile, a family of four can save $1,880 over two years 
compared to an AT&T shared family plan."

  Here's how T-Mobile's offer to pay off these fees 
works:

  Starting tomorrow, customers from the three major 
national carriers who hand in their eligible devices at any participating 
T-Mobile location and switch to a postpaid Simple Choice Plan can receive an 
instant credit, based on the value of their phone, of up to $300. They then 
purchase any eligible device, including T-Mobile's most popular smartphones, 
now priced at $0 down (plus 24 monthly device payments, for well-qualified 
customers). After customers get the final bill from their old carrier (showing 
their early termination fees), they either mail it to T-Mobile or upload it to 
www.switch2tmobile.com. T-Mobile then sends an additional payment equal to 
those fees, up to $350 per line. Trade-in of their old phone, purchase of a new 
T-Mobile phone and porting of their phone number to T-Mobile are required to 
qualify.

  T-Mobile is also making it easier for its 
longtime customers to migrate to Simple Choice plans as well without incurring 
any migration fees. To qualify for this option a current customer under 
contract trades in their current device and purchases a new T-Mobile device and 
switches to Simple Choice. In addition to waiving the migration fee, T-Mobile 
will also eliminate the existing annual service contract for that customer's 
line. 

  With a Simple Choice Plan from T-Mobile, families 
start with one line at $50 per month for unlimited talk, text and Web with up 
to 500 MB of 4G LTE data. They can add a second phone line for $30 per month, 
and each additional line is just $10 per month. In short, a family could get 
four lines for $100 per month (plus taxes and fees). The potential savings are 
so significant that if every single AT&T, Sprint and Verizon customer switched 
to a Simple Choice Plan, T-Mobile estimates they would save up to $20 billion 
collectively each year.

Re: iPad mini: wi fi only, or cellular?

[Alan J Paganelli]

Hi All,

Here's what I know about WI-FI and Cellular data.  I live in the USA.  We 
travel in our motor home as well.  In 2012 we took a trip that covered over 
2 thousand miles.  Some was in cities and more was in the country side. 
Finding a WI-FI signal was actually harder then finding a cellular signal. 
In my opinion, if your rarely going to use it to travel and you live in a 
city where you have easy access to WI-FI then that may be all you need.  If 
you travel often, then your better off with both WI-FI and cellular data.


I'm having trouble finding the iPad air with both WI-FI and cellular data in 
the 128 GB model.  Everybody seems to be out of them but could have one for 
me in a week.  Well both myself and my wife want the same thing so it 
wouldn't be just 1.  It would be 2 of them.  I'm waiting for a call back 
from the store where we got my 5S.  Many other stors in my area didn't have 
the 5s with 64 GB.  They all had the 32 so maybe it will take a bit longer. 
Don't worry though, when I get my iPad Air, you'll know it because you'll 
hear me yelling yahoo!

Alan

Do you need the ability to charge or power nine devices at once?
Do you hate keeping track of multiple chargers for all of your USB devices?
Do you have trouble finding outlets for all of your AC powered gadgets and
electronics?
Have you purchased a Power strip only to find you covered up 3 outlets with
one bulky power brick?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then SpeedDots has a product
for you!
Check out the all-new POWERQUBE!

The POWERQUBE is a revolutionary, electrical, power and charging system,
that allows you to charge up to nine devices simultaneously through three
USB ports and six electrical outlets.
The sleek design of the POWERQUBE means you don't have to try to hide it. It
is compact enough that you can place it on your desk, conference table,
kitchen counter, or nightstand; anywhere you need power management and USB
charging capabilities.
At 5.5" by 2" inches, it's the size and thickness of five CD cases stacked,
and can easily fit into your backpack or briefcase.
There's nothing on the market today quite like the Powerqube!
Charge two iPads or tablets, as well as your smart phone, with the three
high power USB ports, while at the same time, power and charge your laptop,
scanner, and printer, or even your cordless phone, in any of the six widely
spaced AC outlets.

Re: [New post] T-Mobile to pay off all early termination fees when you switch from AT&T, Sprint or Verizon

[DJ Reese]

At first glance this seems like a very good plan however, I did discover the 
hidden wording that could stop some in there tracks from switching over to 
T-mobile.

1. you have to trade in your existing phone for a T-mobile locked phone.  I 
currently have a iPhone 4S so is t-Mobile going to give me a iPhone?  I 
doubt it.

2. Then it says for well qualified customers.  This means you have to pass 
their credit check in order for them to payoff your existing contract.

So on the surface what really sounds like a super plan to switch to T-Moble 
might not be so super for some of us at all.

until it was locked out on most of the books. Or at least the publishers had 
the choice to lock it out. So it’s not like they been ignoring us on

Re: ?: The Jaw Bone BT Headset or the After Shock BT Headsets for the Seeing Eye App or Use With Other GPS

[Eileen Misrahi]

Hello, 

I changed the subject line, but it is related to which headset would be a 
better fit with the Seeing Eye GPS or other GPS apps used on the iOS devices. 
Unfortunately, I have misplaced my After Shock headsets, so I am not sure if I 
will replace them or look at the Jaw Bone BT headset. Can anyone delineate the 
differences between the two and why they would purchase one over the other? 

thanks in advance. 

Cheers,

Re: iPad mini: wi fi only, or cellular?

[Rick Alfaro]

Alan, have you checked using the Apple store app? Their shipping is 
usually super fast if they have some ready to go. The app will tell you 
when you could expect it without actually making the purchase. You could 
also check via their toll free number.

Hi All,

Here's what I know about WI-FI and Cellular data.  I live in the USA.
We travel in our motor home as well.  In 2012 we took a trip that
covered over 2 thousand miles.  Some was in cities and more was in the
country side. Finding a WI-FI signal was actually harder then finding a
cellular signal. In my opinion, if your rarely going to use it to travel
and you live in a city where you have easy access to WI-FI then that may
be all you need.  If you travel often, then your better off with both
WI-FI and cellular data.

I'm having trouble finding the iPad air with both WI-FI and cellular
data in the 128 GB model.  Everybody seems to be out of them but could
have one for me in a week.  Well both myself and my wife want the same
thing so it wouldn't be just 1.  It would be 2 of them.  I'm waiting for
a call back from the store where we got my 5S.  Many other stors in my
area didn't have the 5s with 64 GB.  They all had the 32 so maybe it
will take a bit longer. Don't worry though, when I get my iPad Air,
you'll know it because you'll hear me yelling yahoo!

Hi Rick,

If I buy it through the Apple Store app, I'll pay a hundred bucks more.  The 
same item through AT&T who is my carrior, it's a hundred bucks less so We 
like the plan we have and sense both of us are getting one, two hundred 
bucks is two hundred bucks.

Re: [New post] T-Mobile to pay off all early termination fees when you switch from AT&T, Sprint or Verizon

[Rick Alfaro]

Another gotya I think is the fact that they offer to sell you a new 
phone with 0 down and 24 monthly payments to pay off the new device. 
What they are not saying and perhaps I'm mistaken, is that your new 
phone is no longer subsidized. If that is the case, a new iPhone 5s 64gb 
would be $850 divided by 24 increasing the monthly payment by $35.42. 
That's just for the one phone. If you have others on your plan also 
wanting one of the latest iPhones, it's going to be really expensive 
with only 500mb of LTE data. JMO.


Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

Rick alfaro

At first glance this seems like a very good plan however, I did discover the
hidden wording that could stop some in there tracks from switching over to
T-mobile.

1. you have to trade in your existing phone for a T-mobile locked phone.  I
currently have a iPhone 4S so is t-Mobile going to give me a iPhone?  I
doubt it.

2. Then it says for well qualified customers.  This means you have to pass
their credit check in order for them to payoff your existing contract.

So on the surface what really sounds like a super plan to switch to T-Moble
might not be so super for some of us at all.

Re: ?: The Jaw Bone BT Headset or the After Shock BT Headsets for the Seeing Eye App or Use With Other GPS

[Rick Alfaro]

Hi.

For this purpose, I would personally choose one of the Aftershokz models 
for the simple reason that the Jawbone BT headset still goes into one 
ear, thereby blocking out some sound. The Aftershokz do not interfere 
with your hearing at all.




Best Regards,

Rick alfaro

Hello,

I changed the subject line, but it is related to which headset would be
a better fit with the Seeing Eye GPS or other GPS apps used on the iOS
devices. Unfortunately, I have misplaced my After Shock headsets, so I
am not sure if I will replace them or look at the Jaw Bone BT headset.
Can anyone delineate the differences between the two and why they would
purchase one over the other?

thanks in advance.

We travel in our motor home as well.  In 2012 we took a trip that
covered over 2 thousand miles.  Some was in cities and more was in the
country side. Finding a WI-FI signal was actually harder then finding a

be all you need.  If you travel often, then your better off with both
WI-FI and cellular data.

I'm having trouble finding the iPad air with both WI-FI and cellular

Happy New Year to all!

I am looking to purchase a Bluetooth keyboard for my iPhone 5.
Absolute requirements are that the unit has user-replaceable
batteries, is smaller than the Apple wireless keyboard, and will
emulate the Apple wireless keyboard's keystroke command set.  I have
pretty much settled on the AmazonBasics unit, but are there others I
should consider?  What about the Anker keyboard, for instance?

Thank you for all help.

App Turns Smartphone Into Virtual Cane

[Gary Bowers]

App Turns Smartphone Into Virtual Cane for the Blind

MIT Technology Review
January 8, 2014


A smartphone app inspired by Greek mythology has the potential to help the
blind navigate indoors where GPS is unavailable. 


It's easy to imagine that being blind or visually impaired more or less
excludes people from using smartphones or tablets. But nothing could be
further from the truth.  App stores have a dizzying variety of products that
help the visually impaired access all kinds of information much more easily
than would otherwise be possible.

These apps offer audio books, match clothes by colour and even offer games
played by hearing and touch alone. But the apps designed to give directions
all suffer from the same drawbacks-audio directions are helpful but also
screen out other audio such as conversations or the sound of traffic nearby.
What's more, GPS does not work indoors so these kinds of systems are of
little use in homes and other buildings

Now Pierluigi Gallo and buddies at the University of Palermo in Italy have
come up with an alternative which offers the blind navigational help without
any form of audio distraction or the need for GPS.

The approach is surprisingly simple and inspired by the famous Greek myth of
Ariadne and Theseus.  In the story, Theseus volunteers to kill the Minotaur
which lives in a labyrinth on the island of Crete. To help him, Ariadne
gives him a sword to kill the beast and a ball of thread to help him find
his way out when the deed is done.

Gallo and co take a similar approach with their prototype smartphone app
called Arianna, the Italian name for Ariadne. (It's also short for "pAth
Recognition for Indoor Assisted NavigatioN with Augmented perception.) Their
idea is to map out a route through a building by sticking coloured tape on
the ground.

The user then switches on the smartphone camera and points it towards the
ground, while placing a finger on the screen. He or she then waves the
camera back and forth, scanning the ground for the line.

In the meantime, the app analyses the frames produced by the camera, picking
out the line as it moves across the screen. When the line passes under the
user's finger on the screen, the app causes the smartphone to vibrate,
providing a tactile indication of where the line falls.

Scanning the smartphone back and forth allows the user to follow the line in
the same way as he or she might use a cane (see diagram above).  At the same
time, QR codes placed on the ground can give the user other information such
as the location of places such as toilets, water coolers, shops and so on.

Gallo and co say they tested their virtual cane in December at workshop in
Boston organised by the Andrea Bocelli Foundation and say it works well.

And they plan significant upgrades in future. One idea is to use infrared
lines that are not visible but can nevertheless be picked up by smartphone
cameras which are sensitive to infrared. This infrared sensitivity is
currently an under-used feature of most smartphones, they point out. And
that raises the possibility of games and challenges that are equally
accessible to the blind and sighted.

All in all, this software could be a significant help to the blind and
visually impaired. Hi-tech aids for this disability tend to be expensive
because they have to be specially designed and manufactured for a relatively
small group of people. But with smartphones widely available at affordable
prices, much of the technology necessary for Ariana is available
off-the-shelf.

Gallo and co don't say when their new idea will be available as a commercial
app or how much it will cost but it has the potential to be significantly
cheaper than a bespoke device.

So: useful, simple and potentially cheap. Not a bad combination for an app.

Subject: Google Voice and jailbreaking - Was Re: iOS7 Jailbreak Released

Hello Melissa and all interested. Basically it's like this, you can set up a
free Google Voice number at http://voice.google.com and forward it to your
iPhone number, or any other number by choice. In my case, my real cell
iPhone number is the primary number it forwards to. This means that when
people call my GV number, it rings my cell phone. If I want to call that
person back, or make outgoing calls which appear from my GV number rather
than my real cell number, I have to either use a direct dial method or call
back method via the Google Voice App or my favorite, GV Connect. Normally
that is fine, and in most cases no problem. However if I am texting with
someone, or if I see a number on a web page or if someone puts their number
in an email, I can't just simply tap the number and call it and it come from
my GV number. This is where jailbreaking and the Call on GV Pro and SMS on
GV tweaks come into play. 
With Call on GV Pro, it fully integrates my GV number into the iPhone so
that outgoing calls can be from my GV number. You choose the method of
dialing out so you always use GV, or the tweak asks you if you want to
choose carrier calls. It's completely flexible. Now for texting, when you
have a GV number, it can be used to send texts back and forth with it.
Normal SMS can be sent, but not MMS, which is used for pictures, videos, and
audio. Again, if I want to text back and forth to and from my GV number and
all outgoing texts need to show my GV number to hide my real cell number, I
have to either use Google Voice app, or GV Connect. 
Another way is you can have Google forward all texts to your real cell and
they are assigned a gateway number which is associated with that contact.
This is very good the way it works, but let's say that someone with number
832-555-1234 writes me. I'll see an incoming text which shows 504-221-1922
and then the text shows 832-555-1234 followed by the text. As long as I
respond to that 504 number, it will automatically forward to the real 832
number which wrote me. Again, not a big deal if I add that 504 into my
contacts. I can even call it like normal, and the call will originate from
my GV number. However again, if you want to initiate a text message, you
have to use a Google Voice or GV Connect app. So, here comes jailbreaking
and SMS on GV. It fully integrates the sms experience with my iPhone and so
all I have to do is text someone like normal to their regular number and the
incoming text they will see will be from my gv number. This also has the
advantage that if another app sends out a text on your behalf, like sharing
information, it will originate from your GV number.

I hope this helps, and if I can explains things further, please write me off
list.

PS, a while back I wrote up a setup article on how to do all what I
describe. The article is a bit outdated now since it was for iOS 5 I
believe, but much of the same information applies. If I get requests off
list, I can send that article to people. Again, off list for this.

Re: Charge up to nine devices in one place with the Powerqube!

[Joanne Chua]

Is great that it can charge multiple device at the same time, but how does it 
work? For example, Iphone and ipad require two different votage charger. 
Although you can charge ipad on the iphone charge, that will end up taking 15 
hours to charge from say 10% to 100% wherelese it might only take you 2 to 4 
hours from the ipad charger.
Also, what about other device, like camera bateries and that, which have 
different votage etc?
Does it have any smart power management system so that it won't over charge the 
bateries? And, will this come with international travel adaptor? If not, might 
be something that Steve Dots can combine it together as a package.
I must say though, the 9 outlets looks pretty impressive.

Hi Joanne,

 

I'm assuming that you could always plug your iPad charger in one of the 6
outlets and plug your iPhone in one of the USB ports if all else fails

 Hello all. I just noticed that the Seeing Eye GPS app has an update.
 Amongst several bug fixes and enhancements they have added a monthly
 subscription. I don't yet know the cost however because when I try to
 go
 there I get an error telling me that it's unable to purchase. Most
 likely
 this is an error they overlooked because I see the price for the 3 year
 and the 1 year subscription, but the monthly one has no price. So, I'm
 curious to find out what that subscription will be. If anyone here
 knows
 what that cost is, please share. I haven't looked on their site as yet
 because I'm writing this email just a minute after trying the app on
 the
 iPhone. So if the information is there, this is my bad for being lazy
 and
 not checking first.

 Thanks.

Re: what is a good vo accessible ear peace to use with the seeing eye gps app?

[Andy Baracco]

I read a post on another list that said that Aftershokz has a new model of the 
bluetooth headset that they are showing at CES. It has been redesigned with 
better audio isolation, and the controls on the side rather than in the back. I 
do hope that they are more durable, as the first set I had had the left side 
audio go out after 3 months. They sent me another set, and 6 months later the 
button on the left side to end a call no longer works. Also, it is so fragile 
that I am always worried about breaking it.

Re: iPad mini: wi fi only, or cellular?

[Les Kriegler]

Alan, we purchased an iPad Mini for my wife.  We have For]izon with a shared 
plan which includes our son and the 2 of us.  With our shared plan, the Hot 
Spot feature is included at no extra charge.  So my wife can use her iPhone's 
WIFI with her iPad, and I can use my BrailleSense u2 from my iPhone's hot spot. 
 We are going on vacation starting next week and plan to do this while we are 
traveling, especially as one of the hotels we are staying at does not provide 
free WIFI.  What this all is leading to is the fact that because of hot spot 
access, I didn't spend the exffra $100 for cellular data not necessary in my 
opinion.  Hope this helps.

Re: The Jaw Bone BT Headset or the After Shock BT Headsets for the Seeing Eye App or Use With Other GPS

[Andy Baracco]

The Aftershokz are bone conduction so the pieces do not sit on or go into your 
ears. This means that you can hear things like traffic sounds along with your 
GPS, or whatever is coming through the headset. Don’t know if the Jawbones are 
bone conduction.

Hello,  

I changed the subject line, but it is related to which headset would be a 
better fit with the Seeing Eye GPS or other GPS apps used on the iOS devices. 
Unfortunately, I have misplaced my After Shock headsets, so I am not sure if I 
will replace them or look at the Jaw Bone BT headset. Can anyone delineate the 
differences between the two and why they would purchase one over the other? 

thanks in advance.

Hi, first off let me say that I have only been using the Seeing Eye
GPS app from Sendero for several days. The first thing I noticed was
how easy it is to use. Virtually nothing needs to be set up and
configured with it. It speaks the necessary information about street
crossings as you walk. If you are riding in a vehicle and are going
relatively fast, then the intersections are suppressed. If you are in
a route, it clearly gives turn by turn information and it's very easy
to figure out what it means.

I'm still not sure if I will continue using it as my primary gps
source however, but this isn't through any fault of the app. Prior to
trying out this app, I usually use a combination of BlindSquare or
Ariadne to know where I am at a given point and Google Maps or
MapQuest or Apple Maps for turn by turn directions. Along with those
apps, Hop Stop for bus information and Metro Trip for my local bus
information. Yes, this is a combination of multiple apps. However
quite often I don't need to use more than one at a time. If I'm
walking somewhere to get from point A to point B usually Ariadne or
BlindSquare is used. I'm not in situations where I need walking
directions to get somewhere because usually when I go somewhere I've
already got the directions down and I just use non-technical
orientation and mobility skills to find what I'm looking for. In a
case where a building might need to be found, then Ariadne or
BlindSquare is good about telling me what address range I'm in to make
sure I'm in the right area. For times when I'm riding in a vehicle,
Google Maps is the preferred choice app because its directions are
spot on, and because the app gives the necessary information in such a
way that both me and my sighted driver can use the information. If I
were to rely only on Seeing Eye GPS for driving directions, then I
couldn't easily share it with my driver because in most cases I would
have to turn down the speech rate  of Voice Over and on top of that,
it's text only and most sighted people like the visual map elements.

Don't get me wrong, I think this app is great and I still feel that
for many people it will be better than the alternative apps mentioned
above. As a technology trainer myself I will be more than happy to
recommend this to some of my clients who might benefit from it.
However for me personally I don't think it will be my primary gps app
of choice. The one thing which I really like, and like a lot, is its
feature of telling you when a street is coming up and if it's a street
which spans left and right, or only left or only right.

I hope this helps.

Hi, it's true that paying per month gets very expensive, but it has the
huge advantage that it only costs you $10 to find out if the program
will
really work for you and if it doesn't, then you are only out that one
amount. Also, if you don't travel much and only need it
occasionally, you
could pay for those times you will need it, assuming of course that you
will need it less than 6 or 7 times per year since then the cost per
year
or 3 years would start to be better anyway. I think they mainly did
this
to allow people to give it a spin. I'm taking advantage of that now and
can finally say that I know what the program is really like. So, I for
one
am glad they added the monthly subscription, for guys like me.

Hi All,

Here's what I know about WI-FI and Cellular data.  I live in the USA.  We
travel in our motor home as well.  In 2012 we took a trip that covered 
over

2 thousand miles.  Some was in cities and more was in the country side.
Finding a WI-FI signal was actually harder then finding a cellular signal.
In my opinion, if your rarely going to use it to travel and you live in a
city where you have easy access to WI-FI then that may be all you need. 
If

you travel often, then your better off with both WI-FI and cellular data.

I'm having trouble finding the iPad air with both WI-FI and cellular data 
in
the 128 GB model.  Everybody seems to be out of them but could have one 
for

me in a week.  Well both myself and my wife want the same thing so it
wouldn't be just 1.  It would be 2 of them.  I'm waiting for a call back
from the store where we got my 5S.  Many other stors in my area didn't 
have
the 5s with 64 GB.  They all had the 32 so maybe it will take a bit 
longer.

Don't worry though, when I get my iPad Air, you'll know it because you'll
hear me yelling yahoo!

You could be right, but I don't know. It sounds like a Pen Friend with a
longer range and the ability to vibrate. 

I imagine there would be some people who would not like pieces of tape stuck
around their property. Some  clever troublemakers might even remove the tape
marker, or even lead you to the wrong restroom.

Sometimes the world would be more manageable if we didn't have to share it
with people.

Oh well, I still think the app would have its uses.

App Turns Smartphone Into Virtual Cane for the Blind

MIT Technology Review
January 8, 2014


A smartphone app inspired by Greek mythology has the potential to help the
blind navigate indoors where GPS is unavailable. 


It's easy to imagine that being blind or visually impaired more or less
excludes people from using smartphones or tablets. But nothing could be
further from the truth.  App stores have a dizzying variety of products that
help the visually impaired access all kinds of information much more easily
than would otherwise be possible.

These apps offer audio books, match clothes by colour and even offer games
played by hearing and touch alone. But the apps designed to give directions
all suffer from the same drawbacks-audio directions are helpful but also
screen out other audio such as conversations or the sound of traffic nearby.
What's more, GPS does not work indoors so these kinds of systems are of
little use in homes and other buildings

Now Pierluigi Gallo and buddies at the University of Palermo in Italy have
come up with an alternative which offers the blind navigational help without
any form of audio distraction or the need for GPS.

The approach is surprisingly simple and inspired by the famous Greek myth of
Ariadne and Theseus.  In the story, Theseus volunteers to kill the Minotaur
which lives in a labyrinth on the island of Crete. To help him, Ariadne
gives him a sword to kill the beast and a ball of thread to help him find
his way out when the deed is done.

Gallo and co take a similar approach with their prototype smartphone app
called Arianna, the Italian name for Ariadne. (It's also short for "pAth
Recognition for Indoor Assisted NavigatioN with Augmented perception.) Their
idea is to map out a route through a building by sticking coloured tape on
the ground.

The user then switches on the smartphone camera and points it towards the
ground, while placing a finger on the screen. He or she then waves the
camera back and forth, scanning the ground for the line.

In the meantime, the app analyses the frames produced by the camera, picking
out the line as it moves across the screen. When the line passes under the
user's finger on the screen, the app causes the smartphone to vibrate,
providing a tactile indication of where the line falls.

Scanning the smartphone back and forth allows the user to follow the line in
the same way as he or she might use a cane (see diagram above).  At the same
time, QR codes placed on the ground can give the user other information such
as the location of places such as toilets, water coolers, shops and so on.

Gallo and co say they tested their virtual cane in December at workshop in
Boston organised by the Andrea Bocelli Foundation and say it works well.

And they plan significant upgrades in future. One idea is to use infrared
lines that are not visible but can nevertheless be picked up by smartphone
cameras which are sensitive to infrared. This infrared sensitivity is
currently an under-used feature of most smartphones, they point out. And
that raises the possibility of games and challenges that are equally
accessible to the blind and sighted.

All in all, this software could be a significant help to the blind and
visually impaired. Hi-tech aids for this disability tend to be expensive
because they have to be specially designed and manufactured for a relatively
small group of people. But with smartphones widely available at affordable
prices, much of the technology necessary for Ariana is available
off-the-shelf.

Gallo and co don't say when their new idea will be available as a commercial
app or how much it will cost but it has the potential to be significantly
cheaper than a bespoke device.

So: useful, simple and potentially cheap. Not a bad combination for an app.

Hello all. I just noticed that the Seeing Eye GPS app has an update.
Amongst several bug fixes and enhancements they have added a monthly
subscription. I don't yet know the cost however because when I try to
go
there I get an error telling me that it's unable to purchase. Most
likely
this is an error they overlooked because I see the price for the 3
year
and the 1 year subscription, but the monthly one has no price. So,
I'm
curious to find out what that subscription will be. If anyone here
knows
what that cost is, please share. I haven't looked on their site as
yet
because I'm writing this email just a minute after trying the app on
the
iPhone. So if the information is there, this is my bad for being lazy
and
not checking first.

Thanks.

App Turns Smartphone Into Virtual Cane for the Blind

MIT Technology Review
January 8, 2014


A smartphone app inspired by Greek mythology has the potential to help the
blind navigate indoors where GPS is unavailable.


It's easy to imagine that being blind or visually impaired more or less
excludes people from using smartphones or tablets. But nothing could be
further from the truth.  App stores have a dizzying variety of products that
help the visually impaired access all kinds of information much more easily
than would otherwise be possible.

These apps offer audio books, match clothes by colour and even offer games
played by hearing and touch alone. But the apps designed to give directions
all suffer from the same drawbacks-audio directions are helpful but also
screen out other audio such as conversations or the sound of traffic nearby.
What's more, GPS does not work indoors so these kinds of systems are of
little use in homes and other buildings

Now Pierluigi Gallo and buddies at the University of Palermo in Italy have
come up with an alternative which offers the blind navigational help without
any form of audio distraction or the need for GPS.

The approach is surprisingly simple and inspired by the famous Greek myth of
Ariadne and Theseus.  In the story, Theseus volunteers to kill the Minotaur
which lives in a labyrinth on the island of Crete. To help him, Ariadne
gives him a sword to kill the beast and a ball of thread to help him find
his way out when the deed is done.

Gallo and co take a similar approach with their prototype smartphone app
called Arianna, the Italian name for Ariadne. (It's also short for "pAth
Recognition for Indoor Assisted NavigatioN with Augmented perception.) Their
idea is to map out a route through a building by sticking coloured tape on
the ground.

The user then switches on the smartphone camera and points it towards the
ground, while placing a finger on the screen. He or she then waves the
camera back and forth, scanning the ground for the line.

In the meantime, the app analyses the frames produced by the camera, picking
out the line as it moves across the screen. When the line passes under the
user's finger on the screen, the app causes the smartphone to vibrate,
providing a tactile indication of where the line falls.

Scanning the smartphone back and forth allows the user to follow the line in
the same way as he or she might use a cane (see diagram above).  At the same
time, QR codes placed on the ground can give the user other information such
as the location of places such as toilets, water coolers, shops and so on.

Gallo and co say they tested their virtual cane in December at workshop in
Boston organised by the Andrea Bocelli Foundation and say it works well.

And they plan significant upgrades in future. One idea is to use infrared
lines that are not visible but can nevertheless be picked up by smartphone
cameras which are sensitive to infrared. This infrared sensitivity is
currently an under-used feature of most smartphones, they point out. And
that raises the possibility of games and challenges that are equally
accessible to the blind and sighted.

All in all, this software could be a significant help to the blind and
visually impaired. Hi-tech aids for this disability tend to be expensive
because they have to be specially designed and manufactured for a relatively
small group of people. But with smartphones widely available at affordable
prices, much of the technology necessary for Ariana is available
off-the-shelf.

Gallo and co don't say when their new idea will be available as a commercial
app or how much it will cost but it has the potential to be significantly
cheaper than a bespoke device.

So: useful, simple and potentially cheap. Not a bad combination for an app.

Do you need the ability to charge or power nine devices at once?
Do you hate keeping track of multiple chargers for all of your USB devices?
Do you have trouble finding outlets for all of your AC powered gadgets and
electronics?
Have you purchased a Power strip only to find you covered up 3 outlets with
one bulky power brick?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then SpeedDots has a product
for you!
Check out the all-new POWERQUBE!

The POWERQUBE is a revolutionary, electrical, power and charging system,
that allows you to charge up to nine devices simultaneously through three
USB ports and six electrical outlets.
The sleek design of the POWERQUBE means you don't have to try to hide it. It
is compact enough that you can place it on your desk, conference table,
kitchen counter, or nightstand; anywhere you need power management and USB
charging capabilities.
At 5.5" by 2" inches, it's the size and thickness of five CD cases stacked,
and can easily fit into your backpack or briefcase.
There's nothing on the market today quite like the Powerqube!
Charge two iPads or tablets, as well as your smart phone, with the three
high power USB ports, while at the same time, power and charge your laptop,
scanner, and printer, or even your cordless phone, in any of the six widely
spaced AC outlets.
