Contrary to popular belief, iPods are quite useable by blind users. I am totally blind and have no problems using my 40GB iPod. You have to be willing to learn a couple simple menus, and that's all. I highly recommend them if you are not opposed to learning the menu layout. Every menu item can be set to click as you select it, so it is a snap to browse through the options if you know how far to go. iPod is the #1 way I listen to music, and it saddens me that so many blind people tend to believe that, since it has a screen, they can't use it. If you're too lazy to memorize the menus, or can't for whatever reason, then that is one thing...but there is *no* reason that a blind person *cannot* use the iPod.
