Hello,
Others have reported that books through Kobo are accessible with VO on the iPhone.

This is true. I wasn't sure if the Iphone could read Ebooks or not, but that 
would be a major plus for the Ipad.

I actually ditched verizon for the iPhone when it became available in June.  I 
think I will probably purchase the iPad though, because I would like to use it 
as a note taker and would also love the ability to read eBooks.

That's what I was thinking, but since verizon doesn't yet carry the IPhone, I 
don't have that option yet. Even though that would be my first preference.

I think if a person already has an iPhone/iPodd touch with a laptop, the iPad won't fit in. I look at the iPad as a more advanced alternative to an iPod touch. I'm not really interested at this point in getting an iPad. It doesn't fill a need for me. I do thing it would make a great notetaker though. Especially since you can get iWork for it.

well, the iPad will run iphone OS 3.2; the latest version, and therefore will 
have the features of the iPod touch and iPhone. It will probably make a great 
note taker, and you can always get an app from app store called documents 2 
which is a complete office suite for iPhone and iPod.
The advantages...
It will be faster; as far as I know, the iPhones and iPods run a 800 mhz CPU 
underclocked to 600 mhz. TheiPad has a 1 ghz apple designed CPU, and probably 
more ram.
the screen will probably be better and more responsive.
it will have latest technology which makes the experience better for the end 
user
better built in sound
bigger screen; bigger navigation area, and bigger keyboard.

This is all I can think of for the moment; not really sure if there's anything 
else.

Subject: [macvoiceover] Advantages to iPad for Voiceover users?



Hi Everyone:
This might have been discussed already, so I apologize in advance if this is 
the case.  I am curious to know what people think the advantages of the iPad 
wil be for those voiceover users already using iPhones?  If the books are 
accessible I can see how the iPad will be a useful tool, but otherwise, I am 
not sure how it will be used?
I know I will purchase one because my voicenote is dying, and I refuse to spend 
a lot of money on a note taker for the blind when the iPad is out there, but I 
am not sure whether the device will be robust enough to serve as a note taker 
during it's first version?  The ability to use a bluetooth keyboard with the 
iPad is great, and I suspect that eventually the iPad truly will be the answer 
for people looking for something between a laptop and an iPhone, but I'm not 
sure that this first release will quite meet those expectations.  At the 
moment, I'm debating whether to purchase this version or eagerly await release 
number two.  What are other's thoughts?
