Hello;
I think this was mentioned previously but never saw a reply.  Any totally blind folks out there using the dreaded i-phone?  My nephew just got a new improved one so I took a look.  Never got to the point that I could even make a call never mind txting or the internet.  Apparently someone sells a braille overlay for the screen which may or may not help.  There must be some secret that neither of us knew about.  Never did figure out how to "flick" as opposed to tap or double tap.
I hate buying a phone and buying a speech program which will certainly require periodic updating.  This sounded ideal even if I didn't use half of the features and there are folks that left me feeling it was very usable.  I sure didn't feel it was easily used after seeing one.
If anyone has some words of wisdom feel free to reply off list.
Richard
