Earphones that sit on the cheek? Must be uncomfortable when sitting down.

Thanks Steve. I have taptapsee and just beginning to get the hang of it.
It's really very useful. I also use xbmc remote to control our tv and access
recording from radio and tv, and love fleksy, though I've not yet worked out
how to add words to its dictionary. It's the Kindle app I would like, but
when I went into the app store there were dozens of them, and I wasn't sure
which was the correct one. But overall it's a fantastic advancement for us,
isn't it?
Ian, did you ever try those new earphones that actually sit on the cheek?

You decide what you want to install. There are thousands of apps that do all
kinds of things and cost all sorts of money. You can browse the app store or
you can search for a particular app. For example there is one called
taptapsee which helps a blind person to identify packages. It takes a
photograph of the object and sends the picture of to a database somewhere
and within a second or two you get a reply saying "Tin of baked beans." This
one is free.
For finding out where abouts you are you can get free apps that simply tell
you the name of the town/district and the street name or you can pay a
reasonable some and get a fully fledged GPS app which will let you create
routes. Another will tell you the next bus to arrive at the bus stop you are
standing at (don't know how well this works and it may vary from place to
place depending upon the nature of the bus company's web presence.
The longer you have your device the more apps you are likely to acqire.
Personally I load quite a few but gradually remove them again as I find they
are not really what I need.
The whole thing is very flexible and fairly easy to deal with once you get
started.

Ian, do forgive me if I'm asking too basic a question, but how would I know
what to install and what not to install?

Trish mentioned installing apps and this is, indeed a quite straightforward
process. You need to be aware though that, in order to get apps you have to
have an iTunes account. Even for free apps you are requited to give your
user name and password for iTunes before being able to download them.
Something else you should do if you're using the latest operating system,
known as IOS7 is to go into settings and turn off automatic updates.. Doing
this means that you will then be able to know when individual updates become
available and exercise the option of whether or not to instal them.
