Hi Steve,

Thanks for your post.  You're the first VI person I've come across using the
Touch and I'd be fascinated at just how much of the functionality of the
device you are able to use whilst remaining with the stock firmware.  If you
don't mind my prying, but you must have some residual sight to handle the
touch interface?  Would you say this is worth considering for others needing
to look for a new media player (for example, if my iPod Video ever kicks the
bucket) or would it be too difficult to handle?

Now for your questions.  For video conversion I use AVS Video Converter. It
is a paid for solution but offers a wide range of presets you can choose
from, including for iPods.  It's also accessible with my Supernova screen
reader, or easy to see if you are using magnification.  No doubt someone
will offer a free solution as I'm sure I've heard of one myself, but the
name escapes me right now.

HTH.

Subject: [access-uk] Ipod Touch! and Macs

OK Folks!
 
Santa Claus brought me a great new little gadget for xmas!  Yes, the new 32
GB Ipod Touch.  I've listened to a couple of podcasts re this and have got
to grips pretty well with it's function and how to get around it.  I have a
couple of questions however.  I know there is a more specialised list which
T and T run but wondered if there were many on the list?  Also, does anyone
have the sub details?
 
Now for my questions:
 
1  What is the easiest way to get .avi files onto the ipod?  I believe they
need to be converted first, how do people find the accessibility of these
conversion tools?  Also, where can I get the most accessible one from?
 
When I go into the music section of the front screen, is there a way to
easily switch between artis, album and song views?  How easy is it to set up
play lists?
 
Anyone got any suggestions for really cool aps which are free?  Also though,
any paid ones which, again, are accessible? 
 
I am pretty knocked out at how easy the touch screen is to manipulate.  As
an additional question, how accessible are apple mac computers in general? 
presumably, there is more facilities in the full blown voice over ap?  I
hear it is akin to window eyes?  So, does that mean you can get the list of
links etc in safari?
 
Are there any more tutorials etc for the touch?  And my final question,  How
similar is it to the I-phone?
 
Best wishes.
 
Steve
