Hi Chris, Not any longer with Jellybean, both operating systems work the same, ie you can tap anywhere.

This gives you an idea how the application or web page is laid out. Or you can simply flick left or right to jump to the previous or next element. Think of flicking left or right as the tab key on a screen reader. Once you have landed on that element, you can then double tap anywhere on the screen to open that item. The Apple devices are unique in being able to tap anywhere on the screen once you have selected an element/button etc, you have to be more precise with Android phones.

Hw does the phone understand what you want to do, if you can tap just anywhere on the screen? I am not trying to be obstinate, I just don't honestly know. Perhaps touch screens wouldn't seem so intimidating if more of us blind were aware one could tap anywhere on the screen to accomplish things. > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Nutt" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Friday, August 03, 2012 2:18 AM > Subject: [access-uk] Re: I phone 4S Steve & Jackie > > >> Hi, >> >> Yes you could.
