My opinion, if some sighted person wanted access to a screen, then they should bring their own screen to hok it up too, no offense. And Android gestures on the Touch? From what I heard, forget it.
Thanks,
Zach

In case a sighted person needed to look at your touch for some reason.
Also a person who is familiar with android gestures could use the
touch stream like an android device.<div

I may not like the touch for reasons of my own, but I'd still take the
touch over the polaris. I heard a presentation on the polaris and
thought the device wasn't that good. Just because it runs a newer
version of android doesn't mean its better. I don't like that the
polaris doesn't have any kind of visual screen. Also, for me, the
polaris had way to many buttons on it. Also, from the presentation I
heard, the voice on the device sounded like a piece of crap. The nice
thing about the touch, were the voices on it were very clear, it could
connect to wifi extremely fast. I had no problems with the processor
on the touch, I was just upset that I couldn't install certain apps.
Even though I may return my touch, doesn't mean I won't be interested
in hearing any new updates that will be coming along. I'm not exactly
sure even if I will return the touch. I'm just considering it. There
are several apps that work very well on the touch. I like using Skype
on the device and pandora, and youtube. Reading bookshare books also
works very well.  The braille display is great.<div

Hello Josh,
I thought you said, on a different email list, that you were
going to return the Touch because you thought it sucked.  I was
actually thinking about getting a BrailleSense Polaris, which is
coming out later next month, with much better hardware.
Thanks,
Zach

I would not get A B2G at all. The touch is a much better device.
I
have only had my touch a short time, but it really works well.
It
connects to wifi extremely quickly, and I can use apps like
pandora,
skype, and youtube.  I  have heard from people who have had a
b2gg,
but the device isn't google certified yet.  I'd go with the
touch.<div
