OK, think I should look at a spec for all these different Apple computers/hand helds. Can anyone give me direct URLs to specs for the Ipod Touch, IPhone and IPad, please?

Not correct, face time is a video call facility that
allows audio/visual calls between other face time enabled
devices, free!  free! free!, anywhere in the world.

I believe you can use that Skype thingy as well.

at all (which I didn't expect) and you can use it on the

quite correct so please correct me if my understanding
is not quite right.

Thanks.

Hi Carol.

The only things that don't work so well on the touch are
GPS applications as the touch doesn't have a built in
gps receiver or compass, nor do any applications that
rely on phone functions to work.  Everything else
should work fine though, though remember that you can
only use WiFi on the touch to get online.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Jackie,

I never realised you could do so much with the Ipod
Touch.  I hadn't thought about it going online, though
I should, knowing that Apples stuff works with ITunes,
and
I certainly hadn't thought about it being able to run
these other apps.
Very interesting, for sure!

So, does anyone know if all apps work across the board
on their equipment? Just interested in how things
work. ... --

My Apple keyboard arrived yesterday, and pairing it
with
my iPod Touch was extremely straightforward.  So I
decided to visit the App Store and, for 59p each, I
bought four applications that work with VoiceOver.
They
are the World Fact Book 2011, a dictionary and
thesaurus, Tune In Radio and, probably my favourite,
Birds of Britain.  The latter is an amazing little
program if you love bird sound and details.  Not only
can you play the song, but you can listen to VoiceOver
provide a description of their size, colour, family,
time of year etc.  There is also a favourites button
to
use where you can add a library of your favourite
birds
to it.
Tune In Radio is great.  Similarly, there is a
bookmark
facility where you can make a list of the stations you
wish to add.  Because I love tennis, and the
Australian
Open is on at the moment, I have great difficulty
getting it on DAB as we have such a diabolical signal
in these parts.  So when I tuned in using the Sonata
at
8.00 this morning, a message said that restricted
rights prevented coverage.  I find this often happens
at weekends when football matches are in progress
too. So I tuned my iPod to Sports Extra and, low and
behold, got the tennis on live.

All the above apps work with VoiceOver.  I don't use
my
keyboard for everything, mainly when I get into tricky
areas that need a bit of typing. Mostly, I use my
fingers and have got used to doing so now.

Just thought I'd pass on the info.

Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns
