  Hi list.

   

  Yesterday, I purchased a Nano Ipod.  At a first glance, however, I found it 
not to be too accessible.  Although it sounds like it can be customized to 
improve its accessibility and includes a system of clicks, it has a touch 
screen, which appears to be extremely sensitive and therefore, difficult to 
operate without being able to see it, as it would be very easy to select an 
incorrect option for example.    Also, it is menu driven, which is likely to 
increase its complexity, especially from an accessibility stand point.  

   

  I am therefore, asking for your experiences using the Nano and for tips to 
increase its accessibility and make it easyer to operate by a totally blind 
person.  

   

  Thanks!

   

  Susana
