I have an iPod Touch which uses VoiceOver. I find it to be quite easy to use and actually prefer running some apps on the Touch rather than on my netbook. From the podcasts I have listened to, VoiceOver is now very powerful and with the recent release of OS4, VoiceOver even supports blu-tooth Braille displays.

Just how accessible is apple these days anyway? I heard some interesting things about voiceover but, I've never run across another screen reader user who's actually made the switch. Are all applications accessible using it? Wonder how coding, word processing and browsing work with it. Alex On 6/25/10, katherine Moss <plymouthroamer285@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Thanks a lot.
