I am interested in your train of thought, could you go a step or two further in
your thinking or what you know. I have often thought about why a person who is
blind might want to use an iPad however beyond the dexterity considerations I
don't see any particular advantage unless one is visually impaired thusly the
letters and icons would be larger.

The Blind Have Use For An iPad, Too

The blind might not be the original target market for the folks over at Apple
with the hugely successful iPad tablet in the first place, but this does not
mean that with a little bit of training, some perseverance, as well as the
right kind of software in place, the blind as well as visually impaired folks
too, are able to take advantage of this popular tablet device.
As you can check out in the video above from Bloomberg, Jon Erlichman from
the same company participated in a workshop that actually helps instruct
teachers on how one is able to unlock the power of the iPad for the visually
impaired. This is definitely a heart warming video, as we see barriers being
broken down thanks to the wonders of modern technology. I wonder whether
similar training concepts and ideas can be incorporated so that those who want
to use tablets on the Android platform will not feel left out of the equation.
