I think the larger size of the iPad would be a hindrance. I'm fairly good
at grasping spatial layouts, but even on the small screen of the iPhone, I
still can't reliably tap the icon I want and I'm still not even close to
accurate when it comes to using the on screen keyboard. I can hear where I
am and adjust my finger accordingly, but it's still not as smooth as I'd
like it. I think having a larger area to navigate would make this process a
bit harder because there's more space to cover.
I'd still like to check out an iPad, though.

Subject: Re: The Blind Have Use For An iPad, Too
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
Ubergizmo
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.
