Subject: [GW-Booksense] iPod versus iPhone versus iPad [was "Important
Announcement Regarding GW Micro and HIMS Partnership"]
To get just the difference in features between the iPhone, iPod Touch and
iPad, you can go to a site like
http://ipod.about.com/od/ipadcomparisons/a/ipad-iphone-3gs-ipod-touch.htm.
Of course, this isn't meant to take the place of Melissa's impression of
the different devices or the quality of the speech synthesizer being used.
Just a suggestion, but you may want to change the subject line in the
future. You may get more answers to your questions if the subject line
reflects what you're asking. I know I stopped paying attention to this
thread a few days ago, and it's only because I'm using a different email
client that I noticed this question that I thought I could help answer,
with Google's help that is.

Hi Milissa. I am thinking of getting one of these devices but am not sure

Would you be willing to write me off list. I am thinking of either the
phone or just the I pad And was wondering about the differences between
the I pad and the I pad touch.

Robert,
You are mistaken, the IPod touch, IPhone, Ipad, as well as the Mac all
work
with Braille displays. As an IPhone user myself, using it with a Braille
display far surpasses my experience of using a PackMate and a
VoiceSense. I
understand that a touch screen isn't for everyone but by the same token,
the
"ghetto over priced note takers for the blind are also not for everyone.

The average blind person cannot afford any of the adaptive products
available. But we still need them one way or another.
The iPod is nothing like a note taker. It has no braille display
which
many blind people need and cannot afford.. Your hearing goes south,
what
good is the iPod then.

I can't see how the average blind person can aford to buy a notetaker?
They cost so much money! This is what attracted me to the Ipod touch.
After listening to several podcasts on how voiceover works, all of the
things you can do with it, I said to myself, I got to have one. And
now I
do.

I roo want such a device, like the Braille Sense Plus.
Unfortunately,
its way out of my reach and I have been unable to get grants for one.
But the fact that HIMS will be taking over from GW Micro does not
worry
me. It wont affect my chances of getting a BSP in any way and my
BookSense will work just fine.
And having a direct line to HIMS may be more productive too tho the
likes of Raul will be missed.

No, the Ipod wouldn't meet my needs. I want the computer and the
braille
display to be in one unit.
