I know you're joking Sieghard, but I've used a cane and a dog, and it's
pretty obvious with both that you're blind!

Hi Tom, why not get a guide dog, then you don't have to whip out your cane
and you'll fit right in with nobody noticing you're blind *smile*

Hi,
Don't get me wrong here: this isn't a flame, and it's not directed toward
anyone in particular; I'm just making a comment. What SS Eric says below
strikes me as absurd. The second I whip out my cane the idea of any attempt
to hide my blindness would go right out the window, and I'm definitely not
ashamed to walk around with a cane. Walking around in public without my
cane is unsafe, impractical and just plain foolish. I'm secure enough in my
blindness that I really don't give a rip if anybody notices or has a
negative opinion about my condition and I sure don't have to carry one
I-device versus the other to try to hide my blindness and fit in with the
sighted world. That's just silly nonsense.
Tom

This is not aimed at any one in particular, but applies to Farmor then we
might like.
A lot of people will carry an iPad or Mini because they want to appear
cited. At least, they don't want to appear blind.

Hi
is it true MBraille works like a Perkins or other Brailler on the iPad?
Best wishes for 2014 Chris

Hi,
I use MBraille on my iPad mini and really like it. You have to make sure
you stay at the bottom of the screen for it to work properly.
Hope this helps,

Ricardo, Thanks so much for the input. I have been trying to decide if I
will purchase an iPad mini. I have many friends that have them, but,
they are sighted and like the bigger screen as opposed to the phone. I
use headphones for listening to most music, so the speaker wouldn't be a
consideration. I can always buy a blue tooth speaker. Do you use Siri
on the iPad? How do you type your messages? Right now I am using
mbraille. I guess it would take some getting used to on the iPad.
Anyway, thanks again for your input. I priced them today, so I may get
one.

Hi,
I love my iPad mini. For me, it more has replaced my Macbook pro than
my iPhone. Especially for media consumption, and when on the go. Its
just easier to throw my iPad into my bag then my 4 pound Macbook. I
have a keyboard case so, I don't feel like I'm loosing much
functionality. I also have a cellular model. In comparison to my
iPhone, I find myself reaching for my iPad to listen to audiobooks
movies, and youtube more than I do my iPhone do to the better speakers.
Same goes for listening to music, although I pair my JBL flip bluetooth
speaker for that generally. And the battery life is a big factor too.
I can go 3 days easy even when using my iPad mini retina hard. If I'm
careful, I've gotten as much as 7 days on a single charge.
The iPad is one of those things when you get one, you all of a sudden
find uses for it that never entered your mind prior. lol. As far as
apps, I do find some apps much easier to use on an iPad like Mail and
messages for example.

Hi,
I've been reading the comments on the ipad mini.
I have an iPhone 5s now.
I've thought about getting an ipad, but wonder if those of you who use
an ipad find it more useful in some ways than the iphone?
Do you, say, find it better for reading books?
Thanks,
Crystal
