Hi JackieThanks for all that. I too had an I-pod touch as well as the I-phone but sold it as I decided I didn't really think it sensible to have a device for one thing and another device for something else.

Hi MarkIn essence, I didn't get on with the iPhone first time round, so gave it tomy son. But as my confidence with using the iPod Touch grew, I bought an iPad late last year, and got on well with it. Then, a few months back, Ifinally took the plunge and renewed my interest in the iPhone. That made my iPad really surplus, so I sold it. I did like it though, but felt that as I had my iPod Touch and an iPhone 5, it was better to recoup some of the moneyinvested before the iPad got too old. As you say, these devices are not cheap!As the iPad is larger, the sound is better for music, and VoiceOver just hasmore depth. My iPod Touch is the fourth generation that I received as a present more than two years ago. While it has the latest iOS software, it doesn't support Siri, and I do use this quite a lot on my iPhone 5. If you can, get some hands-on at one of the Apple stores to see what you prefer in terms of size. They should allow you to try out each device and ask any questions. Good luck.

I ask as the Ipad is quite expensive and as I already have the Iphone I am trying to justify the extra expense. thanks Mark Bishop ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairnsplace@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, April 22, 2013 12:05 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: ipad accessibilityHi Mark Yes, except that you are dealing with a larger touch-screen. Some apps work exclusively for the iPad, but if you can use one device, you should be ok to use the iPad as well, least that is my experience and conclusion.

Can people tell me about their experiences with it? I am using the I-phone 4S and have used the Ipod touch recently and have got on really well. Is the ipad as user-friendly as these? thanks Mark Bishop ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
