There are some people who apparently have no sight and who say they can use and
IPod without any problems. I looked at one of the click wheel models and think
it would be next to impossible to do.
So, the IPod shuffle seems the most suitable alternative. Designed without a
screen, with a wheel with fixed functions, it seems perfect. Plus, it's only
£99.99 for a 1Gb version. Shame the accessories are so bleeding expensive.
The problem with Ipods isn't really the hardware however. It's the ITunes
software that can cause you the most trouble. A lot of people have reported
that it is a swine with screen-readers. In fact, it is that bad that it won't
even work with Apples new screen-reader they are bundling with the next release
of there operating system.
There is however a solution, Anapod explorer from red chair software. This now
supports the IPod shuffle and gives access to the shuffle like most other
devices in Windows Explorer.
Of course, you have to use another method of getting music onto your PC, but at
least you can now get it onto an IPod and look cool!
