I wish it were that simple and I am glad it's not. To explain
this, one thing you can do with the IPhone you cannot do with a
braille page is flick tohear the next element on thescreen, ths is
hugely helpful. if I had to *find* what I was looking for, I
might never find it but maybe that's me. As for flicking upward,
that too is a bit miss leading. In many circumstances where there
are more more elements than will fit on a screen, it is possible
to scroll up or down, but the number of items seems arbitrary when
youflick up or down. In some places, you are given a notation of
how many "pages" and which one you are on but it requires a trick
I haven't learned yet to move from one to the other of those
pages. On the home screen for instance, I can move from page two
to page one by pressing the home key but to move to page two it
seems I have to stand on my head and rub my foot.

An analogy I sed on another website is that the IPhone screen is
like a
Braille page. As you move your finger around the screen, instead
of feeling
bumps, the information under your finger speaks to you. You can
read emails
line by line and also read your ipod music the same way. When you
reach the
bottom of the screen, you need to change pages by flicking
upward. It's the
way a screen scrolls naturally.
The IPhone is a completely different interface from using a
keyboard. It
takes a while to get use to especially if like me, I had to
unlearn lots of
keyboard keystrokes and the windows way of doing things.

Hey people
Last time I asked a question about the iphone, you answered me that
there is no specific command to read line by line, or sentence by
sentence.
But for example in mail, if I have to scroll through a message,
can I
only either read the wole thing or read word by word and char by
char?
Or is the message divided in various chunchs on the screen so I can
touch and read in pieces?
Best regards
Tom
