I'm sure it's no more accessible than my android phone is and that's my one
and only complaint is the touch screen. I never have and never will get
comfortable with it. I can do everything with it, but it takes a long time
for me to get things done because of the touch screen and typing especially
on it is better than when I started but still with a keyboard I could type
probably at worse 50 words per minute on a phone sized keyboard, on that
it's more like 2 words a minute on a good day and I usually end up so
frustrated that I cut emails and texts short and stop responding to people
at all.
