Hi Dark,
If I were to go into my deepest thoughts about touch screen, I'd have to ban
myself for profanity. Trust it to say, I hate them with a passion and think
that adding voiceover to a touch screen device is just another corrupt
twisted pro sighted business way of conning the law and getting away with
discrimination. The fact that so many VI people have found a way to conquer
that is rather impressive to me, and if that's the case, then so be it. But
I think it's rather unnecessary to have to do that when the business itself
should make more of an effort. Just because they don't know we exist, or
choose to believe we don't exist, doesn't make us go away. And if companies
continue to design things in their own eye happy way, in another twenty or
thirty years it's probably unlikely we'd be able to use anything in the
mainstream market and we'll be right back to square one with specially
designed excessively expensive products and the like.
That's only my opinion, I know tons of you won't agree, but this debate goes
slightly away from games so I don't want this to turn into a full blown
argument as to which is the best operating system to work with.
That's me off my soapbox now.
Regards,
Damien.

I must admit I'm planning on an Iphone myself when my laptop busts, since
these days I just need something portable, and there are more and more
really awsom sounding games for it.
I understand there will be a learning curve, but actually I will probably
use games to help me with that, for instance playing text games to learn
about screen navigation, the same way that playing online web games got me
familiar with site navigation.
Of course, I've not tried one yet, so I might be jumping to conclusions,
but from the sound of it touch screens are the way to go, and I'm
intreagued by the idea of one that works with screen reading.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
