1. Today is the tenth birthday of the iOS app store. It started with
just 500 apps. The iPhone was released a year earlier and it only
contained the apps installed by Apple. While all platforms now have
their own version of an app store, Apple's was really the first to do it
and it changed the iPhone in major ways, as well as influencing other
operating systems to offer similar services.
2. If you're an Amazon Prime member, Amazon is temporarily offering the
refurbished Fire Tablet, HD 8, for $39.99. This tablet is certainly not
as nice as an iPad, especially from the perspective of blindness
accessibility, but it is accessible and is a fabulous deal for anyone
who was considering purchasing one of these.
