That is exactly right. I have been to two different Verizon stores the first salesmen told me that if the phone talked he'd know because he owns one. It wasn't until my son figured it out that he even new about it. and they know nothing about app accessability. A free phone isn't worth it if the apps that are important to me aren't available on the droid. Has anyone with the iphone seen the phone protecter that was designed to make the phone more accessible? I only heard a few comments and they weren't all that positive.

Subject: Re: [ATI] i phone vs android While I completely understand money constraints, that $200 is a well-worth-it investment. If talk and text is your pleasure, then the droid may be ok. I really will have to make a trip to check one of those out, because honestly I haven't see one work. I'm not knocking the droid's capabilities, and I'm glad that people are able to make use of free phones, finally! However, I haven't heard much positive in the way of accessibility. The IPhone however, is really an all-in-one device. It's everything you would want in a device for the blind, and someties it even includes the kitchen sink. (smile) And, the accessibility is only growing.

So it is fairly easy to type with out having to always have an external key board. I was afraid of the no so many accessible apps. So it looks like I should be looking more toards to iphone wich I actually really want, but I wasn't sure about the typing, I use texting allot.

Subject: Re: [ATI] i phone vs android Lots more apps, but Not as many accessible apps. At least that's my understanding. I text and E-mail with my iphone on the screen all the time. Try it before you give up. Works better if you turn on touch typing mode. Then when you raise your finger, it types. ----- Original Message ----- From: irishmist3 <mailto:[email protected]> To: 'Adaptive technology information and support.' <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Friday, April 22, 2011 7:16 PM Subject: [ATI] i phone vs android Hi all; I am in the market for a new cell phone. 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. Molly _____ _______________________________________________ ATI (Adaptive Technology Inc.)
