I don't use all that many apps with my Ipod to be honest, I use Ootunes and that's really about it, battery life for that is around 24 hours. I'd imagine if you were watching video then battery life may be shorter. On 11/05/2012, at 6:40 PM, william lomas wrote: what about for using aps

I think the button labels are a bit verbose, but I'd rather have too much information than not enough. I couldn't seem to get into prefferences, though. All I saw were triggers and macros. I intend to set up a couple of triggers, but first, I have to find the IP address to the mud I want to

Mud is multi user dungeon. So a client will use a given game's telnet link so that you can play, they are text based. A lot of them offer ports to play using the browser but that usually isn't very good for screen readers, they can get slow and cumbersome, and that can be deadly if you are

Orin, Respectfully, I disagree that the system voice is as big a problem as you seem to think. You can interrupt it with control, and that is one of the big concerns I had. Also, the button label issue has already been mentioned, and while it's not ideal I hardly consider it a deal breaker.

I agree with you, but it's a start and he may put vo support in, it's clear they wont to make the client more accessible for blind users. If blind users email him and explain this, he may add it in. I agree though the buttons are two self explanatory. Ian McNamara --- Mac Access At Mac Access
