HI Amie.
There are some android heads who would say that android is the most
accessible. At the moment this is not true though I must admit, i've not
been able to play with the very latest version of Android which is called
Jelly Bean. IPhone would be my best advice currently for a relatively
non-technical person who wants access to a mobile phone though Android is
making leaps and bounds. the problem is that if you buy a good phone now,
it might not get upgrades in a year which would bvery likely contain
accessibility improvements. As of early this month, less than 15 percent of
all androids were running ice Cream Sandwich which at that time was the
latest version of Android.
There is a lot more documentation about the accessibility features of the
IPhone and this documentation is free or low cost.
I would recommend a bookn called something like Getting Started with the
IPhone which is available from RNIB for less than £20.
In general then the IPhone is the one to go for over all at this point I
would say though android is coming on in leaps and bounds.
Regards
Graham

I?m currently using Simbion with Talks and wondering, similarly, about where
to go next once my current phone falls in half.
I know almost nothing and hope others will join in, but it seems to me that
Talks and Mobile Speak are both now well on the way to obsolete, with IPhone
and Android finally taking VI access into the mainstream. I?ve also heard
the theory that Android is looking the better of the two, being more
flexible with its app?s.
Hope this isn?t considered o-t for here; as a Talks user it?s certainly of
interest to me, but apologies if it isn?t an acceptable thread for this
list.

Hello. Over the years, we have been looking forward to a mobile platform
that can be reutilized to make the blind people use the cell phone
independently. Shortly after though, the symbian based was the first to
adopt this notion. Talks and Moble Speak for symbian were indeed the top and
the only two options to choose from. Afterwards, we began to see the HTC and
windows moble based, Talks and Mobile Speak have had to move to cope with
your demands there. In a little while, Apple's iPhone has became the fashion
of the town. Although it consists some buggs according to its end users, but
it was just neat for the most part. Now the question is:
Will Apple's iPhone persistently cope with your demands?
At presently, Apple's iPhone faces a major and uneasy contestant, who could
be dare to miss Android!. Probably as you know, Android is a Linux based,
and it is considered to be the most sophisticated operating system of the
day.
It is widely obtained and rapidly being evolved to such a significant
degree. Will it ultimately substitute Apple's iPhone on the long term?
I have an enormous prediction of Android topping the cellphone market. It is
chiefly flexable. I' currently am a symbian based user, but apparently, I
may eventually go for Android.
Whether you are a blind or a sighted user, you may feel free to participate
in this technological discussion. I look forward to hear from you.
