Yes, I was; but that's not the usual I-phone price for monthly service, so I wasn't sure what the point was in mentioning it. Maybe, I thought, you had an Android phone; their prices are usually quite a bit lower per month. Thanks for helping out though with this reply.

Why that would be the latest version that is out now? The question seems to be should I hold off for the newest or latest and greatest model. When I bought my I Pad this past October I had no idea the newer model would be coming out this past March. Do I regret buying the I Pad II; no, not for a minute. I never had any device so accessible an easy to use right out of the box. 2, is their one for OCR? I phones along with I Pads run apps short for applications. There is a basic set of apps that comes with each device; Email, contacts, calendar and camera to name a few that are task specific. Other apps help you get at the music and videos you download to your device. There is another app that lets you access the apps store. This lets you choose more apps, over 500,000 at last count, books, and movies to rent $4.99 or buy, and all kinds of music; a single cost 99 cents, and albums cost $7.99 and up. The price of apps can be free or anywhere from 99 cents an up. There are OCR apps but do not look for this one to be on the device when you buy. I know of one OCR app by Ai Squared that will let you take a picture of text and read the text. This app is made for folks like me who still have some useful sight left. http://www.aisquared.com/blog/2011/04/zoomreader-is-here/ 3, what would be the monthly cost for the Apps and phone use? For the prices on apps see above and for the cost of staying connected I am over my head on this question. Hay guys with phones, what are you paying per month? ----- Original Message ----- From: K4NKZ <mailto:k4nkz@xxxxxxxxxxx> Jim To: tabi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, May 19, 2012 4:45 PM Subject: [tabi] Re: Apps For The Blind And Visually Impaired: iPad/iPhone Apps AppList thanks! for all this info! questions: 1, which apple phone is the best for us to get? 2, is their one for OCR? 3, what would be the monthly cost for the Apps and phone use?
