Hi Jackie,
I certainly agree with you about the quality. I have Ootunes on the iPhone,
and the quality is great.
Again though, we can do it Symbian, using http://www.yourmuze.com. And you
don't need to install any app.
I too applaud what Apple are doing, but am equally glad they are not the
only game in town.
All the best
Steve

Hi Steve
I'm not disputing any of what you say, who would dare? (smile). I'm just
saying I was impressed with what I found on the Iphone in a very short play
I had with it recently. I don't think I would ever abandon Talks and
Symbian for out and out texting as using a tactile keypad must be quicker
than using a touch screen. But I like the concept of what Apple is doing,
and I suspect that, whether we like it or not, more and more phones will be
adopting the touch screen method. I love Talks to bits, but Nuance is
somewhat slow to keep up with this ridiculous demand for new phones. There
is nothing quite like going into a shop and purchasing something right out
of the box that will read some of these applications to you. One of my taxi
drivers had the cricket on his Iphone in the car one evening when he took me
home from work. He was listening to it on Five Live Sports Extra, and the
quality was more than tolerable.
Good stuff.
Kind Regards,
J

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.
