I was just trying to tune in to radio five live, but none of the other bbc channels will play either. I tried reinstalling the radio player, but nothing changed. Thanks for any help. _____ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Barry Toner Sent: 09 August 2011 13:21 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Can anyone sell the iPod touch to me? Hi, Yeah, have a look at the App Directory. It catagorises the apps by type, eg Business, Music, Social etc. There's a heap of Mac information on the web but here's some specific ones dealing with Voice Over and other Visually Impaired folks using Macs and other Apple products. > > Their UK address is www.apple.com/uk > > > > You can get user guides for both flavours of Voice Over, their > > > > > > screen > reader, and much, much more about accessibility at > www.apple.com/accessibility > > There are many podcasts on Apple products.

Hi Barry Thanks for that, I had a look. Is there anywhere on that page that tells you what the apps are and what they do? Would be good to know what is out there, accessible, and useful to use on a iPod touch. What do others on the list use there's for on a regular bases, apart from playing music? Thanks.

Hi all Having read many different post on the list over the months, there has always been lots of discussion regarding the pros and cons of the Iphone and the touch. I love my gadgets, but have still not yet taken the plunge with either. Well, having said that, I did have an Iphone for a few months, but then decided to sell it, as I hated it as a phone and for texting on. From my own personal perspective, I will stick with a nokia for a phone, as its quick, versatile, and so easy to use. That said, the apple products seem to have some quite interesting apps to play with. My main question is, are any of the apps really that useful? or are most of them five minute gimmicks? Could anyone take the time to post some information about the apps that they feel are actually really useful. I'm thinking of apps that are used for fun, to assist with sight issues and are maybe better or easier to use than software one may already have on a laptop. Thanks for any input.
