Hello Sherry and list,
I would say based on Sherry's information below, that the IPOD is not
accessible. If you cannot create settings without a CCTV, if you have to
memorize the features so you can use it, and if the information is in PDF
format, then the unit is not accessible.
Thank you for the info, it is good to know. I work with assistive technology
and am often asked about accessibility of the new gadgets on the market.
This will help me give a more informed answer in regard to this item.

Hi List,
Just wanted to let the list know that I did get an Ipod and am able to = use
it fairly well. Again, I do have some vision so can use ZoomText and a=
CCTV. The ITunes software is accessible so you can load the music usin= g
ZoomText. I magnified the Ipod under my CCTV. You can set a setting s= uch
that there is an audible click when scrolling down through the menu. = I
set up all my preferences using the CCTV and memorized how to play the
playlists I want to hear. The only thing I have not been able to do i=
s
use the tutorial and help on the CD. It is a pdf file and I can't seem= to
get Jaws to read it. It blurs when magnified. So as with so many thin= gs,
there is a way to muddle through and use this even though not to its fu= ll
capacity.
