I feel very lucky. When the technology upheaval took place, windows and
Symbian were on the way out, iPhone and Android were on the way in, I was
running a technology training company, and I got to try and use both. I was
able to justify purchasing both when they were new, and I've been able to
follow their progress for many years. I have substantial money invested in
both application platforms. I love the variety of devices and the carrier
Freedom offered by Android. I love the fact that there are very good phones
at very low prices. I love Android gestures. To me, they make a lot more
sense than some of the iPhone gestures. I love Braille on iPhone. There's
no reason why Braille on Android should be as primitive as it actually is.
The iPhone is fast, powerful, recognizable, and has a lot more
accessibility features, although Android is starting to catch up a little
bit. I don't love the fragmentation of accessibility across Android
devices, and the fact that manufacturers can ignore accessibility standards
when designing their launchers and proprietary software.
I have a high-end HTC phone, and I like it very much. I don't see myself
ever owning an iPhone, but I don't see myself ever being without an iPad,
iPod, or some other high-performing Apple device. I don't use iOS all the
time, but I love having it around for the few times when I want it. I am
not willing to pay the carrier overage that I would have to pay if I switch
to an iPhone. Canadians pay some of the highest cell phone costs in the
world, and anything I can do to keep my costs down I'm in favor of.
I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you had with languages. Language
support has gotten much better in the last year or two, but if the phone is
not going to come up talking in your language, then it doesn't meet your needs.
Best,
Erik

Hi friends!
I don’t know what to do or think really. Yu know, i got my Iphone stolen a
year ago.
So i bought me an android device and was very happy with that.
Then i bought another Android device which was faster and even more better.
Today my intention was to reset the device back to factory settings because
things were going nuts on it.
So i did that and when i started Talkback on the device the speech was gone.
People on the android list told me that my synth didn’t support my language
but that is the biggest lie in the world.
So i got really pissed off and took out my sim card and put it in the
Iphone Se i got money for from a foundation here in sweden.
It was ment to use it as an extra phone so i could have it if my Android
broke down.
Now its broken down and guess what.
I am back to the Iphone SE.
I am on a crossroad and have to decide wheather to stay the Iphone Way or
the ANdroid way.
I don’t want to start a flame war about operating systems here.
I’ve had enough of that on the eyes-free list.
BUt i want your help to decide.
Now it seems i am very very happy with my Iphone again.
And i can say that one thing that impressed me which i’ve forgot was the
ability to answer phone calls on another apple device.
Another thing that impress me is the braille support on the Iphone and Ipad.
Also the easyness when typing and doing tasks on the device.
I can say i have been testing Android and i think i was quite good on using
it but i never got the hang of talkback and all the strange gestures.
Even though they worked for me they seems to be very clumsy.
I guess i will stay with the Iphone.
What do you all think.
Sorry for the very long post.
Thanks in advance.
