hi jackie this is one of my great anoying things about the sonata you cannot
get the sport on it. my friend and i are in touch with the wireless for the
blind to see if anything can be done about it. it is a real shame the i-phone
does not run flash as i could get the sheffield wednesday commentary from where
i get it on the pc but you have to give apple great congratulations on voice
over and because it is a main stream device things are so so much cheaper the
aps for example when you look at the new braille sense on hand which is small
braille and really very good if you then connect a braille device to the
i-phone you vitually have the same for so so much cheaper. will be glad when
the kindle app will become accessible on the i-phone though it may take some
time.

0 My Apple keyboard arrived yesterday, and pairing it with my iPod Touch was
0 extremely straightforward. So I decided to visit the App Store and, for 59p
0 each, I bought four applications that work with VoiceOver. They are the
0 World Fact Book 2011, a dictionary and thesaurus, Tune In Radio and,
0 probably my favourite, Birds of Britain. The latter is an amazing little
0 program if you love bird sound and details. Not only can you play the song,
0 but you can listen to VoiceOver provide a description of their size, colour,
0 family, time of year etc. There is also a favourites button to use where
0 you can add a library of your favourite birds to it.

0 Tune In Radio is great. Similarly, there is a bookmark facility where you
0 can make a list of the stations you wish to add. Because I love tennis, and
0 the Australian Open is on at the moment, I have great difficulty getting it
0 on DAB as we have such a diabolical signal in these parts. So when I tuned
0 in using the Sonata at 8,00 this morning, a message said that restricted
0 rights prevented coverage. I find this often happens at weekends when
0 football matches are in progress too. So I tuned my iPod to Sports Extra
0 and, low and behold, got the tennis on live.

0 All the above apps work with VoiceOver. I don't use my keyboard for
0 everything, mainly when I get into tricky areas that need a bit of typing.
0 Mostly, I use my fingers and have got used to doing so now.
0
0 Just thought I'd pass on the info.
