Thank you all for your feedback. This sounds so encouraging, really the oposite I felt. I'm going to listen some podcasts if I find some. For all of you who are using a braille display with the ipod or ipad, I'mwondering if it matters how many cells you have? Would it be an advantage to have 40 cells or would an ipad just show some small spots where your fingertouches right now, so 24 cells would be enough? There is another question I have. I feel somewhat stupid but I'm quitereceptive to WLan emmissions. I'm getting a headache after about 20 minutes.But I read there is an airplane mode for ipods and ipads. Would it be a realistic possibility to work in this mode, allowing just bluetooth for a keyboard and braille display and turn on WLan for just short things to update the OS or recognize a song by shazam?

A good analogy might be how difficult it was at first tolearn driving with a stick shift. In a few weeks, it's second nature. I dofind that a wireless keyboard makes typing much easier than the onscreen keyboard with VoiceOver. I'll be using the iPad and Pages for note taking at school and in meetings. Gaylen Floy, Federal Way, Washington Hi to allToday, I went to an apple store and held an ipad in my hands for the firsttime. Amazing, it's much thinner than I thought. The guy there activated voice over. However I found it rather difficult to do things with all this touching and wiping. Most of all locating some things on the plain glass screen. And some funny things happened like the ipod suddenly playing music ... Maybe I was shy or it was just an unlucky start for me. but anyway, I'm wondering if you guys are really using an ipad or ipod touch for your daily life? I read somewhere about a company which makes some tactile overlays for blind people. Are you using something like that or are you really just getting fine by figure out and memorizing all the spots on the glass screen? I'm actually looking for a portable organizer. So I thought an ipad might be an interesting solution since you could look at your appointmens sort of like reading them in braille ... Do you guys organize your things this way? And is there a certain braille display you would reccommend to use with these devices? Kind regards Ben ************ You are subscribed to the mac4theblind mailing list.
