Is there a list of apps that work on both the iPod Touch and iPhone with
VoiceOver anyone knows about?  I would particularly like a quick and simple
what's on TV guide, and I'd love an equivalent to Teletext as well.  Any
ideas?

Hi Jim.

I'm an IPhone user, if there's any app you want me to test out and its free
I'll be happy to give it a go, time permitting of course.  I use lots of
apps for lots of different things, so I've a good list of apps I use and can
recommend.

All the best, Ibrahim.
