Probably all of the above.  Definitely, music, books and podcasts.  

 

Thanks.

Nano Ipod.

 

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
