Hi George, Given your situation, I would recommend that you try and iPhone. Without usable vision, you probably would not benefit from the increased screen size of the iPad. If you want to create large documents, you might want to get a keyboard for input, as the touch screen, though very usable, is somewhat tedious to use when writing lengthy passages. The iPhone has many GPS apps as well as a virtually unlimited number of apps to accomplish numerous tasks. I listen to podcasts and radio stations read books, reas the newspaper with Newsline, keep up with the news, follow my favorite , sports teams, use GPS to plan and take trips, identify money and multiple objects, just to name a few. You should go to http://www.applevis.com to obtain lots of additional information.

Hi, Amy -- No, I no longer have any usable vision. I had intended to buy the Mac Pro with Logic Pro to compose / create music, but I found that Voice Over on the Mac would not allow me to manipulate the various console controles in the Logic Pro music software. So now I'm at a loss. The Mac, I guess, won't let me make phone calls. I see a lot of blind people using iPhones online, but I don't know how or why. Then there's the iPad, but I don't know if it can do everything that an iPhone does. I'd like to make phone calls and use aps that allow me to read labels at the store, identify the denominations of the bills I carry, and maybe even act as a GPs. I guess these things do a lot more, but I don't yet know just what that may be. -- George ----- Original Message ----- From: Amy Ruell <mailto:aruell@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: appletech@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, October 03, 2013 10:22 PM Subject: [appletech] Re: Which Apple to choose? Hi George, A few questions. What are you going to use the device for primarily? Do you have any vision?

I'm in the process of migrating from Windows to Apple. My question is, Why should one select an iPhone over an iPad, an iPad over an iPhone, or a Mac over either of the other two? -- George _____ No virus found in this incoming message.
