I'd personally never get into this solution. But that's just me.
<smile>
There is currently technology out there that allows a simulation of
tactile feedback of keys from a smooth surface, through vibration.
I'm honestly not sure how it works nor do I know more about it than
that, but perhaps someone else might be able to shed some light?…
I think an option like that perhaps even coupled with the current
MSP (Mobile Speak Pocket) style of speech feedback might yield some
very meaningful, if not complete access to the IPhone.
I'd personally love love love to be able to have /use one. So I'm
hoping Apple will make this possible soon.
Smiles,
Cara :)

yeah, I was thinking one way to make the touch screen workable would
be to just ship a small bluetooth keyboard with it. that's all we
need, a keyboard, then we could totally use VO.

shouldn't be too hard to do at least in a limitted way.

Well, there are a few tactile buttons for volume, home, ring/silent
and
sleep/wake. Everything else is through the touch screen. Maybe they
will
eventually just put VO on the iPhone. It supposedly is OSX under
the hood.

Yes, they replied to me, too. Interesting the the iPhone link on the
new Accessibility page mentions tactile buttons.

Hello All,
I just wanted you to know that I wrote an appreciation EMail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
and they responded. I really appreciate that as well as the fixes.
They also mentioned a new Accessibility page,
http://www.apple.com/accessibility/
So I'm going to the Accessibility page to see what's new.
