Hi Ibrahim.
Sounds good. I'll probably get used to that more than the Apple keyboard, since it's laptop style. Thanks for the suggestion. Greatly appreciated.
Take care.

I use the Freedom I-Connex folding Bluetooth keyboard. Its very similar
to a laptop keyboard in its layout and also has a bank of dedicated
media control keys on the left hand edge of the device. It comes with a
pull out stand you can rest your phone on and when you've finished with
it, you can store it away in its protective carry case. I take mine with
me everywhere as my IPhone is such an essential part of my digital life
now. The keyboard costs around £50 from Play, Amazon probably also have it.

All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Jackie.
This sounds good, however are there any other compatible, perhaps
cheaper keyboards that will work with it? I don't mind £60 if I have to
but just looking at all possible options.
Many thanks. Hey, if you want to talk off list, feel free. Just don't
want the list to get bored of me asking so many questions. Smiles.
Take care.

Hi Chris

It is possible to enter the security key yourself, I did it at the
third or
fourth time of asking because I was trying to get the feel of typing on a
flat screen. VoiceOver doesn't of course announce the letters or
digits you
type in, so you will know when you go to the ok button whether you
have been
successful.

I bought the Apple Bluetooth keyboard and don't regret it. I don't always
use it, but it is useful when in the App Store, for instance, and
entering
your password to purchase and download an application onto your device.
You'll pay about £60 or so for it, I can't remember exactly. Just go
to the
Apple UK store and type in Apple Bluetooth keyboard, and it should be the
first on the list of results.

Once you get your WiFi key in, you'll really enjoy the iPod Touch.

Good luck.

Hi Jackie.
Actually I was thinking this could be interesting. How on earth can new
users enter a password and get it right. I mean I would be able to do it
once I am confident enough in typing but yes I do agree about someone
helping me with that, since all I will hear are clicks, which is fair
enough. Is there perhaps a way of learning to type on the touch? I
like the
touch typing method but I would still need to practice it. I am also
thinking of getting an Apple wireless keyboard. How much am I expected to
pay for one of these? I jut think it will speed up my typing that is all.
Many thanks.
Take care.

Hi Chris

My first recommendation would be to get your broadband working with
the iPod Touch so you can access the App Store etc. You need to go
into the settings menu. Perhaps a sighted person could help you if
you are not confident in typing in the security key yourself. But
once you have WiFi enabled, you really will benefit from its features.

Subject: [access-uk] iPod Touch

Hello all.
Please welcome me to the world of the iPod community. I shall be
receiving an iPod Touch 32 GB 4th generation within the next few days
to a week. How it started is thanks to a few demonstrations over Skype
through a friend, I appear to fully understand how the touch screen
works, as well as the basic gestures. I am also impressed by what
VoiceOver can offer.
So yes, very much looking forward to it despite the learning curve.
So all tips and tricks are very welcome indeed!
Take care.
