One consideration is that, aside from battery life and a few iPad-only apps, the iPad offers no significant advantages (that I can think of) over the iPod. At the least, they are identical in terms of VO keystrokes, so hook a keyboard to the iPod and see what you think. I believe you said you ha

Re: Comparing VO Keystrokes in OS X and iOS?

A lot of the IOS key strokes are similar. For example, you can hit Left and Right Arrow together to turn Quick Nav on and Off. You can hit Left and Up Arrow together to switch between rotor settings then Up/Down Arrow to move to the next or previous rotor item. One thing you can't do on IOS is

Re: Comparing VO Keystrokes in OS X and iOS?

Many do, and the non-VO keystrokes for navigating and manipulating text are identical. Basic navigation (vo-left/right/space) and reading (vo-a/w/c) are the same, but the iOS platform lacks many advanced keystrokes. For instance, hotspots/webstpots, vi-key lock, focus/cursor/window information,
