A number of tablets are available soled under various brands. mine is a Linx 7 inch tablet. it was supplied running windows8.1, but it also had a windows10 upgrade included as well as a free subscription for 1 year to office 365. that a lone would've been worth buying the tablet for. I ended up buying an iClever bluetooth keyboard for £24 off amazon and using that with my tablet, though a number of keyboard cases are also available. of course, you can also use the touch screen with your preferred screen reader. using the tablet via touch is relatively straight forward, though i still need to get the hang of scroling web pages. the gestures are similar to iOS and android, NVDA for 1 has information in their help guide for various gestures you can use to interact with windows. these devices are useful for portability, though i'm still not a huge fan of tablet touch screen devices. i think i'll wait for the Asus Vivo PC on a stick to come out which was discussed a few weeks ago on this list.

Hello Adrien.

I guess the question is, what do you want from your tablet? you can get windows
tablets as well as android tablets for as little as £50 that will be accessible
for you to use. what did you have in mind for a use case?

all the best,

Mo.

Hi guys

Ok I am seriously looking at tablets again, I have just
taken a look at amazon, there are loads of them, I typed in
nexus tablets, I guess most tablets apart from apple are
android, I would prefer to stay with a well known make, asus
etc, can someone please advise me? I have had my ipad a year
and I am still struggling with it, would android be easier
for me?

Regards

Adrien

I often buy music on iTunes, even though I am subscribed to
Apple Music. I
never use a Bluetooth keyboard these days, I've just got so
used to a
touch-screen. There do seem to be a lot of different
keyboard bugs that I
have heard about that aren't going away!

Kind Regards,

It should be said that there are occasions when even Apple
Music members
have to buy songs or albums.

Seems fine using the touch screen, I wonder if yet again we
are discovering
more, possibly even worse, bugs with bluetooth keyboards as
initially
thought. I am an Apple Music member, so even attempting to
buy a song or
album wouldn't make sense to me.

Hi
I am trying to buy some music on the itunes store, I had
no
issues with it under ios 8 but for some reason on ios 9 it
is not
working for me, I am using a ultra thin logitech keyboard
as I am not
able to cope with touch screens. I go to the search field,
type in the
name of the song or
artist
I want, hit enter and that is when I have problems, I
found
the song I wanted but the cursor jumped to the end of the
screen, I
managed to go back to the song in one occasion
but
when I double clicked on it, i.e. preview, nothing
happened,
on another occasion, I typed in adele, my ipad went all
strange I lost
focus on the itunes store, i.e voice over kind of
disappeared, I had
to close itunes store in app switcher and open it again,
on another
occasion, I clicked on an album to buy a song but couldn't
see how to
go back
to
the list of available albums, I closed itunes store again
but when I
opened it again, it was stuck on the album I
was
looking at, how do I get around all of these issues
please?
Regards
