But a word of caution: Although the IPhone 3GS has built-in speech, it
employs touch screen navigation rather than discrete buttons, which some
blind users have reported difficulty learning .

Hi, yes the iPhone is accessible.
Only the latest iPhone is accessible however.
The iPhone 3GS.
It has a built in screenreader called Voice over.
you can check www.apple.com for some information about the iPhone 3GS
and accessibility.
I don't know if you've ever seen the iPhone, but it is solid touchscreen.
This bothers some, and some love it.
That is a personal opinion, and a disicion only you can make.
As far as how well the iPhone 3GS screenreader "VoiceOver" works, it
works with every thing on the device. Weather, Internet browser,
contacts, ETC, ETC.
It even works with quite a few 3rd party applications that are what
makes the iPhone so popular.
There are 2 iPhone mailing lists I know of, ones a yahoo group, the
other google group.
I believe the subscribe address for the yahoo group is
[email protected] and I am not sure about the google
list, maybe [email protected] but not sure about that
last address.
Hope this helps.

If this notthe right group can you steer me in the right direction.
