I never rely on a bluetooth keyboard, i dont own one. I do just fine. I dont like the idea that apple makes developers pay to develope aps.

Subject: Re: [ATI] i phone vs android I use a bluetooth keyboard with my iPod, and I love it. I use it a lot of stuff, from face book, to skype. Apple has done an awesome job with accessibility! For those of you who aren't sure, the IPod is just like having an IPhone, without the phone capabilities, and the camera isn't as good in the IPod. I'm praying that changes with the next upgrade so I can utalize some more of the OCR and bar code apps.

Blind Cool Tech Podcasts 1542 and 1550 cover all of the ins and outs of Androids. Each carrier does carry at least one choice with a keyboard, and yes, there are a ton of apps, free and otherwise, for the Android. If you are used to the IPhone, but the Android phone are quite accessible. Google does have an accessibility tab that will allow you to install Talkback, a screenreader that is pretty good from what I have observed. The problem there is not yet a really good accessible web browser unless you spend the $95 for the Mobile Accessibility suite from Code Factory. I personally don't have a phone, but an Android phone will be my next phone. Like you, Molly, I truly feel like I want and need a keyboard. I know the IPhone screen if fully accessible with Voice Over, but this is a personal preference for me. Hope this helped.

I love the I phone but I liked to text and email and I feel that I would need a key board at all times. I heard the droid at least some have key boards. Does the droid offer as many accessible apps as the I phone there are so many.
