I started out with a 4th generation ipod touch. Later I got a 5th
generation ipod touch. A couple years back, I got a great buy on a ipad
mini. I like it much better than my ipod touch 5th generation. It has
better sound, more volume and better battery life than my ipod touch. I now
use it in place of my first generation victor reader stream, booksense
standard and plextalk pocket.

Hi Robert,
I have an iPod Touch, 6th generation, which is the current version.
It's about the size of a typical iPhone.
It weighs less than an iPhone since it doesn't have cellular telephone
capability.
Like the iPhone, it has a single, small speaker on the front edge.
iPads are generally much bigger, since there greatest feature for the
sighted is their larger displays.
Being larger, they come with two speakers, providing stereo sound.
iPads can come with cellular capability, like iPhones, but these are a bit
more expensive.
These days, All iPhones, iPads and iPods come with Bluetooth connectivity,
and the ability to connect to wifi networks for internet access.
All of them also run IOS, Apple's mobile operating system, which is very,
very powerful.
With a machine like these, there is almost nothing you can't do, especially
if you connect a Bluetooth keyboard.
VoiceOver is the screen reader which runs on all IOS-based devices, and it
is very good, allowing you to perform literally all functions of thee
devices.
A 16GB 6th generation iPod Touch, which, again, is the current version of
this device, can be purchased for $299 here in Canada, and you can buy a
128GB model if you like.
With a Bluetooth braille display, you can even type and read in braille with
IOS devices.
What more can I say except that I respect these little babies very much, and
everyone should have one. (smile)
Hth,
Rod

What is the difference between an Ipod touch and an Ipad?

Hi Don,
I wanted to point out that, with a Bluetooth keyboard, an inexpensive
iPod Touch is a less expensive, yet equally powerful, alternative to a
Mac, and it puts you within the Apple world, with access using VoiceOver.
Good luck,
Rod
