I actually find that using IPhone's keyboard is easier for a blind person than for sighted guys. The reason is that sighted people have to look at the keys and, with their fingers covering every key they have to hit, it becomes a bit of an annoyance. Since we are used to the layout of the keyboard, we can type quite fast.
Just my 33 cents. V On 7/18/2009 6:25 AM, Maxwell Ivey Jr. wrote: > > Hello Simon had a good question.
