So, if that is so, which phones does it work on? -

Andy, Android, as I understand it, started off as its own company, but is
now part of Google.

Hi Steve - I'm still with the N82 [I know I know <smile>] My intention
when I next go for a phone, was to probably go the IPhone route, but have to
say, I don't like the size and shape of it so much. Guess I need to find out
what the differences are between it, and Android models. I'm a bit behind with
the latest mobile market. Are Androids the manufacturor name, as with Nokia? Or
is Android the OS produced by Google? -

Hi Andy,
I've never seen the Cobolt compass, but I do this on my mainstream
Android phone <Smile>.
All the best

Hi all -
Another waste of dosh! I think I paid about £35 for this, and it's a
load of rubbish. My experience with
it, found it to be both inaccurate and unpredictable.
Like many things produce for blind people, it is also very ugly, and
cheap looking/feeling.
I'm not just banging the old drum of complaint against equipment
produced for the blind. In fact, it saddens me to find yet again the same
experience, of over-priced [but I do understand the niche market equals fewer
sales argument] ugly build, hardly fit for purpose, assistive equipment.
I always try to buy where I can, mainstream equipment, and figure out
how to get the best from it, but sometimes, mainstream can be too
non-accessible, and I am forced to go to the so-called specialists. It truly
gives me no pleasure in bringing to the attention of the list this poor piece
of specialist equipment, but I think we need to keep shouting for equality in
product performance, reliability, and aesthetic appeal. I don't want big clunky
stuff in my pockets, or around my house, just because it can talk, or give me
some other kind of additional feedback. As I have said before on this list, the
PTR1 was the most over-priced, mal-functioning, hugely ugly piece of junk, I've
ever wasted 600 quid on. Sadly, I've wasted 35 on a useless compass, that
thinks North is wherever it fancies, on any given day -
