I echo the comments about the iphone 4s. When jumping into it, I never 
thought I'd be able to master a touch screen format but knew that was the 
way things were going so decided to give a try. Couldn't do without mine now 
and really is quite accessible. Best thing is that no extra software to load 
for speech as already included. Took me a few days to get up to speed enough 
to be able to use it but shortly after that, convinced my wife to get one 
too. She is sighted but I had no way to help her with her androyd and after 
short time was able to totally set up her iphone and help her use it. 
Somebody will always find something where androyd could be better, but as 
far as ease of use and being compatible with so many apps, you cant go 
wrong. Dave
