I read the article when I first saw the URL show up on various lists. I
didn't save the URL, but it was easy enough to find with Google. BTW, he
does include an even longer list of the good things about the iPhone.
The URL to the article is at

David, I understand your concern; if the article is as poor as you
say, it is disturbing. However, there are plenty of positive things
out there, word of mouth, etc. So hopefully most people who are
interested will find much more positive things to counteract the
negatives in this article. By the way, if anyone has the link to the
article, post it please so we all can read it and perhaps comment if
the magazine allows for comments.
Thank you.
Paul

Subject: NFB June Braille Monitor/Article on the iPhone
Has anyone read the June Braille Monitor? there is an article covering
the supposed pros and cons of the iPhone. I have to admit that it would
be very difficult for me to come up with a list of ten things which are
"not good" about the iPhone but this article supposedly did just that.
I plan to write a detailed blog post in the coming week with my
responses to the ten objections but I'll just say that it's one of the
most irresponsible pieces of journalism I've ever read from that
magazine. Please, understand that this is not meant as a bash about the
NFB vs any other organization or even a criticism of the Monitor.
However, the piece infuriated me because the NFB is a highly influential
organization and many of its members and readers of the Monitor will
take the article seriously just because it comes from a nationally
recognized blindness organization. My fear is that many people may read
this article and will be convinced to not buy an iPhone due to things
which the article claims are "not good" about the device.
