From all I have been able to glean from many sources, including this list, one has to be clear about what goals and objectives one has for a smart phone before you can decide whether to go for an android or an iPhone. If you want a consistent interface and a stable speech technology the n you want to go for the I-phone. If you are the kind that likes to get your hands dirty, tinker with the internals, and to be on the cutting edge you will probably choose an android. The answer is not any different for a totally blind person. To post to the list, simply send email to vi-android@xxxxxxxxxxxxx. To unsubscribe from the list send an email to vi-android-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field (new users, use 'subscribe' to subscribe) To receive the list as a digest, send an email to vi-android-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'set vi-android digest' in the subject (to go back to receiving every message use 'unset vi-android digest' in the subject).
