Thank you Steve for your thoughts. I agree that I like the availability of buttons rather than the touch screen features. I can use both the flat glass surface of a touch screen device and the tactile keypad of a traditional device and prefer the availability of tactile buttons. I do feel that the IPhone and IPad have some definite advantages for the blind or visually impaired though. Thanks again for your thoughts and the reminder of the adaptive technology grant program.

Subject: Re: [ATI] New Victor Reader Stream Alicia, I purchased the new stream after I have the old one provided from the Wolfner program a while back. I have grown to love the old stream and when the new and improved model came along, had to buy it. I use it for just about everything although I do have a few of the Apple products. I don’t know why it’s my go to gadget but it has never failed me for recording lectures, reading books, NLS, MP3 and also word documents transferred to the unit and now, online content including NFB newsline. I like the size of the buttons and the layout as well, maybe because I’m an old guy and still like buttons instead of smooth glass. Remember that MCB could help with the price if you are eligible for their grant. Hope this helps.

I have thought about an iphone or an ipad, but I don't have the funds to support it at this time. Alicia _____ _______________________________________________ ATI (Adaptive Technology Inc.)
