Jacki,Yeah, I think that is the problem across the board in general; there are so many choices; this one does this function, but that other one does not.... and the end user is always left having to settle for one that fits his/her budget; does the main things required, but not all they would like etc.
I am not saying Apple is perfect, but it looks as if they are heading the right direction.
Cost is an issue, but if upgrades are free, this helps, aws we cannot all upgrade software/hardware as often as we would like to, due to the ongoing costs of both.

Hi MikeAs far as I know, Voiceover is one reader fits all. In other words, it's the same on all the devices that support it, that's what makes it so good inthat regard.

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 radiostations and they are so clear.my other moan is lack of being able to listen to local footballcommentary 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 myexisting 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 mustremember we are only at the start with the iphone. hth.

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.
