A training on Android is in the plans.
As soon as we have a device that can be recommended we will try to do such
a
training for it. We feel that Android is the future but affordable & truly
accessible devices are yet to arrive. We have been testing several devices
and are very optimistic about ice cream sandwitch version of Android.
Symbian is here for at least another few years and our observation is that
most users are not familiar with all features.

Saksham has always come up with beneficial projects for visually impaired
people.
But in my opinion almost all blind persons are good in using talks.
And now there is no future of simbian.
It would be better if saksham or another organization provide training for
android.
These are just my thoughts.
Thanks.
