RE: A good option for those of you who want their iPad to replace a laptop

Then let's see how long it would take a blind person using Excel or Numbers on an iOS device to accomplish a variety of tasks which let's say would take me 1 hour in Excel on a PC. I am thinking of setting up a workbook say with a separate sheet for each day of the month where one would enter sa

RE: A good option for those of you who want their iPad to replace a laptop

I am sure others disagree, but as far as I am concerned working with a spreadsheet on an iOS device with out without keyboard is an incredible pain in the neck and as long as I have access to a desktop or laptop nothing could convince me to do it on a daily bases. . From: viphone@googlegroups.

RE: Question for anyone using bone conduction ear phones

I don’t’ think the Trekz Air are that old. I got my Trekz Air around January of last year and at that time, I think they were still relatively new. Maybe two or three months. If you had the wide plasticky band ones, those were the bluez II. They sucked. The ones after were the Trekz Titanium.

Re: Question for anyone using bone conduction ear phones

The only problem I have had with the Aftershokz headset is that after a time one of the ear pieces will begin to separate from the frame and eventually disconnect. This has happened with every set I've had, even the Trekz Titanium. The company is always great about replacing them for free, but

Hello, Earlier this year, I was told about being able to use the Braille keyboard on my iPhone. Up until a few days ago, it was working fine. Now, it is doing some weird things. I can no longer write in Grade 2 Braille. Some of the signs come up more as accents or other computer Braille signs.
