hi there yes with ootunes i can hear the cricket on sports extra the sound
quality is as good as the ipod nanno when listening to the radio on that
device. apple especially with this new upgrade should be congratulated on
accessability for us just look at the new phone that is coming out done by
microsofft nothing for us blind people at all not access. i have just read this
in the pc advisor and pc plus and computer shopper mag. as jackie says you can
go in to the apple store either get them to set up voice over for you or take
the phone home get on itunes and do it yourself just like that. you do not have
the £600 or £700 extra for the screenreader like window eyes and jaws and also
you do not have to keep paying out lots of money for the upgrades. just look at
the jaws upgrades every time one comes out we have to shell out again. i would
love to show other blind people how i manage the iphone. in three months i am
truly amazed what i have achieved with it. we have no sight
here pat cannot see at all the same as me and i have done all this without any
help from anyone else. i still will not be without my talks as i have the best
of both worlds so to speak i just wish this iphone if everyone bought an
electric piano could tune the damn things via the web there by saving all this
travell 1smile, smile 1smile, very interesting though in two weeks to see the
new iphone software. i understand the sky app has been updated so you can use
it on 3 g.
