Amie, my other point here is that there are a lot of people out there who
love apple because they think apple is cool. they are sometimes referred to
as apple fan boys and there are similar people who go for anything but apple
because of apple's corporate dominance, their willingness to prosecute over
patents etc. For myself I happily use apple products such as the IPhone and
non-apple products such as the PC.
I don't know anyone seriously arguing at the moment that Talks really has a
future since there is little point buying a symbian phone with a touch
screen and it's hard to get phones with good old fashioned buttons on these
days. I understand however that Nokia are due to be bringing out some
really cheap phones that run symbian 60, namely the Nokia 1100, 1200, 1300
and 1400. not all will be available in the UK but they should cost less
than £50. Talks at £150 or even £50 for an upgrade then looks rather
expensive! There is the free Nokia screenreader based loosely I believe on
Mobile Speak but I understand that this is far more basic.

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.
