Before IOS 5 you would have to have sited help. But with the new IOS 5 you
will not need sited help as all you will need to do is take the device out
of the box and turn it on and do a triple click of the home key and it will
turn Vo on. So you no longer need a PC to do this with or sited help. HTH
