A better camera would indeed benefit us, and Apple needs to get a touch-screen keyboard that mimics a Perkins's keyboard. Glenn

People seem to foget that the iPad and other devices are not marketed for the blind. The vast majority of the market share are sighted folks. Thus, the bells and whistles are going to be orientated for that population. However, as pointed out, that does not at all mean that the improvements to the processor and camera won't benefit the blind. It is a vast improvement overall, and as with any new iDevice, the extent of the improvements are never apparent from the presentation and don't seem to get fully realized until the device is being sold and third party developers really start taking advantage of its new specs. So, if you don't need a new iPad or you are happy with what you have, that is fine. The new iPad may not be for you. However, don't make snap reactions simply from a presentation that was not geared towards accessibility and go assuming anything.
