Guess I'd better start trying to get the hang of using Window-Eyes with
ITunes since an IPhone is definitely in the cards for me, though I don't
know exactly when yet.
Homer: Hey, uh, could you go across the street and get me a slice of pizza?
Vender: No pizza. Only Khlav Kalash.

Indeed, using I-Tunes one may set-up and turn on what Apple calls voice
over, which is a screen reader more or less built into the iPhone
operating system. That's pretty much the extent of it. If one
synchronizes remotely using Exchange Server, there isn't much need for
iTunes thereafter -- unless one wants to use the iPhone like an I-Pod,
which is shockingly easy to do.
Once it is up and operational, one may turn on and turn off voice over --
also without sighted assistance -- so that the phone could be shared by a
blind and a sighted person.
I don't really know why Window-Eyes was mentioned specifically in the
Apple literature except that I-Tunes and JAWS have been known, at least in
some versions, to conflict with each other.
I don't know this for a fact. I believe I heard it on, I think, Main
Menu, a program on the ACB Website.
Like some Apple detractors, I originally thought the iPhone was a toy, but
I changed my tune when my law firm standardized its mobile solution
on it, replacing Blackberries and Windows Mobile devices. (Noccia devices
were never considered industrial grade.)
With the iPhone, I have:
an MP3 player
a remote email device
a digital recorder,
a calculator
an Internet browser (which beats the pants off IE mobile)
a device for sending and receiving text messages
a compass
a simple sound editor
a camera
a video editor
and, oh yes, a mobile phone
I've had no problems using I-Tunes with Window-Eyes.
