Hi Jackie,
With respect, I can do the same almost at
http://braille.wunderground.com. I can click on each day
with my Symbian phone.
Don't get me wrong, I like some of the iPhone apps, but
the weather apps are easily do-able with Symbian. I also
use an app called S60 Weather which is free.
OK, it is not built in, but just as good.
All the best
Steve

Hi Carol
I can tell you that the weather program works on the
Iphone. Ash at S and S has one, and he let me have a
shot of Voiceover on it one day. I was fascinated with
the weather program, and how you could click on each day
to obtain the forecast. Mind you, it was the first time
I'd had my hands on a touch screen phone, so my fingers
were all over the place. It would be a steep learning
curve for me personally, but I'd be willing to give it a
go at some point in the not too distant future.
Kind Regards,
J

Have you tried the "What's On" prog and/or the local
weather and services?
I'm interested as a sighted friend uses these and I quite
like the idea of them.

hi there I must I acquired my iphone in March and never
thought I would manage the switch over.
I still have my nokia e 65 as a stand by on pay as you
go but It is incredible how cheap the apps are and once
you have got over the learning curve it is truly amazing.
I have the iphone 3gs 32 gig with a thirty pound per
month with vodafone with free internet.
some of my apps are
sky mobile tv which costs six pounds per month but I
have eight sky channels.
my big worry with the phone is the signal is not as good
as it should be in some locations and the battery life
goes down if you use wiffi or other services.
I have gps on the phone mainly
navigon which is useable cost £60 or there abouts.
I also love ootunes radio which let's me listen to
hundreds of radio stations and they are so clear.
my other moan is lack of being able to listen to local
football commentary as it uses flash.
I must say though the signal and battery difficulties
have been seen to with the new iphone and I understand
in two weeks the big upgrade to my existing phone is
free.
voice over is great and though some apps are not
accessible my overall feeling is apple deserves real
credit for giving us access.
whith the new version we have braille displays as well
and we must remember we are only at the start with the
iphone.
hth.

I must say that this new iPhone sounds good. Problem is
I don't like touch screen phones but I'm very tempted if
I'm honest!

Hi Chris,
But Apple isn't the only game. Talks will let you access
touch screens, as
will Mobile Speak.
All the best

Brilliant idea. I applaud Apple for what they are doing
for making these
otherwise inaccessible devices accessible. I am
contemplating getting an
iPod Touch myself, and I can see my family be amazed when
I tell them I
can use a touch screen without sighted assistance.
