where is iTunes folder?, to Sieghard
Hi Sieghard. Reading your answer to Keith, I tryed to find the iTunes folder in windows 7, but it is not where should be. That I am trying to do, is copy the whole library that I have in a computer with windows xp, and move all this information to a new iTunes that I installed for the first time 5 min ago.I don't know if just copying the library, or the whole iTunes folder, I will have the copy of apps, movies, music and all that I have in my old xp. What is the right way to move a library from windows xp, to windows 7? Thanks in advance. Pablo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

RE: where is iTunes folder?, to Sieghard
Hi Pablo, If you installed iTunes on a Windows 7 machine and accepted the default settings, the iTunes folder is in the Music folder. The Music folder, of course, is in your user folder just as Documents and Pictures would be. If you open the iTunes folder you will find the subfolder iTunes Media and this is where all the media subfolders are, e.g. audio books, music, mobile applications etc. If your iTunes folder is not in Music you might want to open iTunes and go to Edit, Preferences and then go to the Advanced section. Here the first thing you see is the location of your iTunes Media folder and this is where, if you want, you can change said location. I am not an expert when it comes to migrating you riTunes library from an XP system to a new Windows 7 computer. However, I believe after you install iTunes, all you have to do is copy the old iTunes Media folder into the iTunes folder on the new computer, tell Windows to replace it if it asks. I would do this with iTunes closed and after you copy it, open iTunes and see if your music and all the other stuff shows up. If not just go to File and Add Folder to Library. Browse to the iTunes Media folder and then choose Select, this should add everything it finds in that folder to the various libraries. If I am out to lunch on any of this I hope somebody else will correct me and explain the proper way to do this.

Re: Using older and current iPhones on a cruise
Thanks to all that have responded. I was hoping that I could use my phone in airplane mode while on the boat. I would rather use the phones in airplane mode, than mess with older equipment that I no longer use, to make the recordings or take the pictures. This is all good information. Wayne On 11/4/12, Rollin Hippler irie_10...@mindspring.com wrote: I recently returned from a cruise and had no problem using my iPhone or i Pad in airplane mode. As others have indicated you have a few options, via Settings, you can turn cellular data, wifi and Bluetooth on/off as you desire. When in a U.S. port you may (but are not guaranteed) to be able to access your carrier. One thing to always keep in mind, there are no cell towers at sea, so if you really want access to the internet, your only option is to use services (cellular and/or slow wifi) provided by the ship which can be costly. The cruise lines usually offer wifi packages that save you some, but IMHO they are still costly. Before I left I loaded books I wanted to read and music I might want to listen to onto my devices. While at sea I had time to relax and catch up on my reading, and learn how to get around some of Voiceovers quirks. Rollin On 11/3/2012 11:19 PM, Wayne Merritt wrote: Greetings all. I will be going on a cruise a week from tomorrow and had some questions about hopefully using my iPhone on the cruise ship. First off, realizing that cruise ship Internet cafe prices are expensive, is it possible to use one's iPhone in airplane mode on the ship when in international waters? I called the cruise company and they said no, since I'm sure they would rather that I drop money in the Net cafe rather than using my device's battery. Second, when in the United States territories, is it possible to opt out of the ship's wireless network and use my ATT data plan? I will be traveling from Galveston, TX to Key West, Florida, for the first leg of the trip. Then I go out of the country to the Bahamas. Since we won't get to Florida unil day 3 of the trip, I was hoping that I could use my data plan to stream some football games on Sunday instead of paying the ship fees. I suppose what I'm asking is if the area from Texas to Florida is covered in the ATT network? I don't imagine myself doing a lot of streaming, but just looking for another option besides the ship's costly network. Finally, my soon to be wife will be adopting my old iPhone 4. Since I have moved my ATT service from the 4 to the 5, the iPhone 4 isn't connected to a network. However, it still has the voice memos app and the camera apps for capturing those special moments. Might it be possible for us to use the old iPhone in order to take pictures and make some recordings of our time on the cruise? The only online connectivity I could imagine would be to backup the photos to iCloud, but we won't be able to do that until we get back home to Texas anyway. Any thoughts on any of this would be most appreciated. \ Regards, Wayne -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: a good blu tooth ear piece for the IPhone
The discovery 925 is not a good choice because it doesn't support A2DP which is what you need to hear voiceover through it. I used the blueant q2 with my iPhone 4 and you can get them pretty cheap now. One word of causion though is that they are not truly siri compatible so if you plant to get a 4S or and iPhone 5 in the near future then I would get a differnt earpiece. IF you plan to hang on to the iPhone 4 for a long time then the blueant q2 is a good choice.

RE: Bluetooth earpiece limitations - was a good Bluetooth ear piece for the IPhone
Keep in mind that even the best Bluetooth earpiece or headset has what I consider to be one major limitation: a small delay which is not really noticeable when you use it to make a phone call or listen to you're your GPS has to say, but if you try and write something like a text message or email I at least find this delay to be extremely annoying and it slows down your typing speed on the regular virtual keyboard. The iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 both support Bluetooth 4.0, but I don't think I have seen anything other than Bluetooth 2.1 being used for the headsets I tried including the high-end Jawbone ones. I have a stereo Bluetooth headset which I used sometimes at home when I want to listen to a book while I vacuum or work in my woodworking shop and I don't want a cable and at the same time don't need to really use the phone.For anything else the earpods are my choice.

RE: Battery life with iPad 3/4 gen with screen curtain on?
Hi Gary, My understanding is that the fact that the new iPad and fourth Generation iPad have LTE is the reason why a larger battery was required since using LTE is apparently a real battery hog. It would, of course be interesting to know if the WiFi only models have actually the same large battery as the LTE versions since if this is so theoretically this should result in better battery life for a WiFi only model. Of course having WiFi on also does use up a fair amount of battery life. As far as the screen curtain is concerned there are a few people who claim that it does improve battery life to turn it on. However, turning on the screen curtain does not in fact turn off the display, it just blacks it out so this would indicate it does nothing for battery life since what does make a difference is how high you have set the screen brightness and screen brightness is apparently not changed by turning on the screen curtain. If you turn screen brightness to 0% this will in fact save you battery and make sure you have Auto Brightness turned off.

Re: verbatim bluetooth keyboard commands
Rebecca: I am using the Verbatim keyboard. From the left of the bottom row keyboard hide (brings up keyboard on the phone), control, not sure of next key to right, command and option. VO is control option. Help is control-option-K so you can play with the keyboardd. S andy's keyboard command list is excellent, although still am trying to get all the commands in my mind. question: How do I lock my keyboard? Tried the key that is supposed to lock it but either it is broken or I don't know how to move it. Helpis deeply appreciated!

Re: Using older and current iPhones on a cruise
Sorry if I'm missing your question, but turning on airplane mode turns off wifi and cellular, so you don't need to turn them off if you turn on airplane mode. Airplane mode basically turns off all of your phone's radios, so it'll also turn off bluetooth and your GPS. I was traveling internationally recently, and I turned on airplane mode and then turned back on my wifi and location services. I still wanted to use my iPhone, but I didn't want to pay any international roaming charges. On 04/11/12 10:30, reggie.alvar...@gmail.com wrote: So when flying I can put my phone in airplane mode and turn off wifi and cellular and it will work as a reader with iBooks? What else does it do? Thanks in advance. Reggie and Brooks On Nov 4, 2012, at 12:05 AM, Grant Hardy grantha...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Wayne, Yes, absolutely you can put your iPhone into airplane mode and use it like an iPod or an iPod touch. Just because you're not using the internet or cellular features of the phone doesn't mean that any other functionality (i.e. iBooks, taking pictures, and playing saved recordings) won't work: it absolutely will. This applies to your wife's iPhone 4 too. You don't even need to have a SIM card in there (although every time you reset it to factory defaults, you'll need to activate it with a compatible SIM card, after which you can take it out). When you're in airplane mode, all the radios are turned off but you can enable WIFI and Bluetooth at any time. Secondly, I have no idea about ATT's coverage or what they consider roaming. But yes, absolutely you can choose whether to use WIFI, cellular data, or neither. In fact, the iPhone won't even try to connect to a WIFI network unless you explicitly give your permission, either by selecting a network from a popup that appears (if ask to join networks is set to ON under settings/WIFI) or by going into settings/wifi and selecting a network manually. Once you establish a connection to a WIFI network you can head into settings/WIFI and turn off the wireless radio at any time. On the same page you can navigate to the name of the cruise ship's network, flick right once and double-tap on the more info option, and choose forget this network to make the phone stop connecting to the network. Hope that helps, Grant On 11/3/12, Wayne Merritt wcmerr...@gmail.com wrote: Greetings all. I will be going on a cruise a week from tomorrow and had some questions about hopefully using my iPhone on the cruise ship. First off, realizing that cruise ship Internet cafe prices are expensive, is it possible to use one's iPhone in airplane mode on the ship when in international waters? I called the cruise company and they said no, since I'm sure they would rather that I drop money in the Net cafe rather than using my device's battery. Second, when in the United States territories, is it possible to opt out of the ship's wireless network and use my ATT data plan? I will be traveling from Galveston, TX to Key West, Florida, for the first leg of the trip. Then I go out of the country to the Bahamas. Since we won't get to Florida unil day 3 of the trip, I was hoping that I could use my data plan to stream some football games on Sunday instead of paying the ship fees. I suppose what I'm asking is if the area from Texas to Florida is covered in the ATT network? I don't imagine myself doing a lot of streaming, but just looking for another option besides the ship's costly network. Finally, my soon to be wife will be adopting my old iPhone 4. Since I have moved my ATT service from the 4 to the 5, the iPhone 4 isn't connected to a network. However, it still has the voice memos app and the camera apps for capturing those special moments. Might it be possible for us to use the old iPhone in order to take pictures and make some recordings of our time on the cruise? The only online connectivity I could imagine would be to backup the photos to iCloud, but we won't be able to do that until we get back home to Texas anyway. Any thoughts on any of this would be most appreciated. \ Regards, Wayne -- Follow me on Twitter at: www.twitter.com/wcmerritt My websites: www.wayneism.com www.whitecaneday.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

RE: Using older and current iPhones on a cruise
Hi Reggie, Turning on airplane mode automatically turns off Bluetooth, WiFi and cellular. In airplane mode your iPhone is basically an iPod Touch, and you can do anything you want that doesn't require a data or WiFi connection. You can consume any media that is stored on your phone, music, audio books, eBooks, movies etc. You can play games, record voice memos, type text notes and use any app, just as long as the app doesn't depend on having a data connection to work.

Hi Keith, Just talked to somebody else about this and there is also MyWay Lite (MyWay spelled as one word and Lite spelled like this). This is the free version of MyWay Classic, but I think it's pretty functional because the only thing I noticed that the paid version does is something about uploading Open Source Map files or whatever they are called.

RE: Battery life with iPad 3/4 gen with screen curtain on?
Ricardo, Turning screen brightness to 0% does not in fact turn off the display, at least it doesn't on the iPhone. I can say this for sure because I usually have my screen brightness turned to 0%, but I have often asked one of my employees to look at something on the iPhone and then they usually tell me they can hardly see anything and then I remember to turn up the brightness. However, a sighted person can read the iPhone screen in good light and by looking directly at it when screen brightness is at 0%. The LCD display still functions just the same it's only the LED backlighting that the screen brightness adjusts and it's that which gives contrast to the display and makes it easy to read.

Bluetooth Keystrokes
Hello, I have some questions about the Apple Bluetooth keyboard. 1. What is the equivalent keystroke of double tapping and holding? I'm thinking of the gesture to, for example, remove an app from the App Switcher. 2. I found a tutorial that says Command + Tab should switch me between apps. It's not working on my iPhone, so am I correct that this method of switching apps is only good for the iPad or perhaps just OSX? 3. Is there a way to remap the keys on the Bluetooth keyboard with iOS, or is this only a function on OSX? Thanks in advance.

Re: program for tagging on mac
Hi, Also, don't forget that you can tag tracks within iTunes. You can select multiple tracks and tag them as a group too, filling in the album, artist, and number of tracks. And if you set iTunes to keep the iTunes library organized, it will rename the tracks based on your tags and organize them by artist and album.

Re: Battery life with iPad 3/4 gen with screen curtain on?
Hi, I didn't say it did. I said turning brightness to 0% turns off the display on Macbbooks unlike devices that run IOS. hth Ricardo Walker rica...@appletothecore.info Twitter:@apple2thecore www.appletothecore.info On Nov 4, 2012, at 1:52 PM, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Ricardo, Turning screen brightness to 0% does not in fact turn off the display, at least it doesn't on the iPhone. I can say this for sure because I usually have my screen brightness turned to 0%, but I have often asked one of my employees to look at something on the iPhone and then they usually tell me they can hardly see anything and then I remember to turn up the brightness. However, a sighted person can read the iPhone screen in good light and by looking directly at it when screen brightness is at 0%. The LCD display still functions just the same it's only the LED backlighting that the screen brightness adjusts and it's that which gives contrast to the display and makes it easy to read.

RE: GPS Waypoint performance - Does one outperform others?
Ariadne is now providing this breadcrumb-like functionality too, correct?--Joe From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Sunday, November 04, 2012 12:37 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: GPS Waypoint performance - Does one outperform others? Hi Keith, My Way Classic is probably the one to look at. You can drop waypoints anywhere and then make them into a route. I haven't used it a ton, but I did use it a bit on the campground on Maui where I was last March and while I too find my guide dog is more helpful than any app, it did let me set waypoints at key turns and that was helpful. The app is from the Swiss Federation for the Blind or something like that and I believe it's $20, so not exactly cheap, but then again the $2,000 I spend on my Trekker Maestro 5 years ago tells me that $20 is cheap. The developer who does Money Reader and Recognizer is also working on a similar app called Breadcrums, but it hasn't been released yet and I am not sure when it will be released.

Hi, Wondering if Ariadne, Navigon, or another GPS app outperforms others for ease of use and effectiveness with waypoints? I'll be staying at a vacation property in a few months that is probably 1 kilometer square. As it's private, I doubt the usuall mapping will be useful, but I could be wrong. Instead, I'm thinking I'll need to set up key waypoints once I'm there to aid navigation from dining facility to cabin to pool, etc. Fortunately, the mostly walking-only paths are wide and flat. I'll rely on my guide dog to get me around intermittent obstacles. Thanks in advance for any insights. Keith -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Looking for an app to block callers
You can't do that on official, non-jailbroken phones; Apple doesn't allow third-party developers to integrate with the phone app. You have a few options though. One is contacting your carrier as some companies offer this service. Another is to sign up for a service such as Google Voice or Line2 since they give you a number and allow you to set up rules for specific groups of callers. You may even be able to port your number to one of these services, though depending on your phone company it may not be possible to both port your number, and keep your plan active with a new number. You could always try the Youmail service, which is available in the app store and replaces your carrier's voicemail service. There are instructions for forwarding unanswered calls to Youmail, and you can block certain parties from leaving voicemail messages.

However as they are in your audiobooks library within the music app it does seem odd but there doesn't seem to be a way to delete. If you double tap andhold and then swipe to the right like you used to for the delete function if you then moved to the left next to the buttons at the bottom, there will be one called menus or something like that, but it doesn't seem to do anything. double tapping on the actual book just open it or play it depending on whether you're in a part or the whole book. It is odd that there is no actions menu as there is with music and with lots of other iOS six functions. I think it might be that you have to do what you used to do in music before the actions menu when it came Up if you double-tapped that, and held, swiped right, and then swipedleft again quickly. I'm sure somebody can explain that better than I have, as they did to me a few months ago. I would certainly be very interested in information anyone can give regarding this.

You may even be able to port your number to one of these services, though depending on your phone company it may not be possible to both port your number, and keep your plan active with a new number. You could always try the Youmail service, which is available in the app store and replaces your carrier's voicemail service. There are instructions for forwarding unanswered calls to Youmail, and you can block certain parties from leaving voicemail messages.

Organizing Classical Music in iTunes
A very informative article if you are a classical music fan and want to organize your collection better. I felt this post was fitting for both lists. Sent by Macbook Air Mail HOME OBSERVATIONS PHOTOS TRAVELS Home › Projects › How I Organize Classical Music in iTunes How I Organize Classical Music in iTunes Wednesday, February 15, 2012 at 4:36 AM Classical music in iTunes is a disaster. The track and album information that is downloaded with your album is an inconsistent nightmare, and leaves one with few options for creating a variety of rich playlists—which is almost exclusively how I listen to my music. To remedy this, I have a system which overhauls the existing track and album data, and appends those data with rich metadata so that I can create a variety of smart playlists. Here is my recipe. Tidy Track Data and Add Metadata Fix Album Composer Unlike many people, I keep the composer of the work in the Composer field (many people move it to the Artist field). I make sure I choose one consistent way to spell the composer's name (Dvořák or Dvorak? you decide and stick with one—personally I prefer the řá spelling), then I change it to a [last name], [first name] format. And, I don't include the dates of birth and death, we have Wikipedia for that. Once you have a composer in your library, subsequent entries will autocomplete. Add composer to sort fields I put the composer, in the same [last name], [first name] format, in the Sort Artist and Sort Album Artist fields. This bunches the works of one composer together, but will not break up multi-composer albums. If you identify your albums by the artist more than the composer, don't do this step. Fix Album Artist There are two fields here: Artist and Album Artist which, as you might imagine, represent each track and the entire album, respectively. For the Artist field, I tend to put the conductor and orchestra first, when applicable, and follow it with any highlighted artists along with their reason for being highlighted. Each artist is separated by a semi-colon. So, for example: Leonard Bernstein, New York Philharmonic Fritz Reiner, Chicago Symphony; Sidney Harth, Violin Alfred Brendel, Piano Stanislaw Wislocki, Warsaw National Philharmonic Orchestra; Sviatoslav Richter, Piano For the Album Artist, I typically put the most important artist first, without any instruments or voices. If the album is known for the pianist, then he or she will go first. If the album is best known for the conductor, then he will appear first (why are there no female conductors?). I still join the conductor and his orchestra with a comma, and separate other artists with a semi-colon. For example: Leonard Bernstein, New York Philharmonic Fritz Reiner, Chicago Symphony; Sidney Harth (the piece is better known for Reiner's work) Alfred Brendel Sviatoslav Richter; Stanislaw Wislocki, Warsaw National Philharmonic Orchestra Now, I know what you're asking, what about those albums that have different artists for different pieces on the album. Well, I personally hate when albums have an Album Artist of Various Artists, but sometimes it is unavoidable, particularly on compilation albums. However, if there are only two different artists, I will join them together in the Album Artist field, thereby rescuing it from the various artists section. The alternative is to break up multi-artist albums so that they appear as different albums, but taken to its extreme—compilation albums—this system breaks down. I vote to keep the original album together. Add Metadata The Comments field can take a format-free string of characters, so I populate this field with an assortment of metadata that describe the piece. These include, in this order: The Musical Period — Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, 20th Century, or Modern. The Musical Form — Symphony, Sonata, Concerto, Prelude, Rhapsody, Tone Poem, Fugue, etc. If you don't know the form, then put Form? The Ensemble — Solo, Duet, Trio, Quartet, Quintet, up to Nonet, and Orchestra Highlighted Instruments — Violin for a violin concerto, Strings for a string quartet, or Winds for Mozart's Serenade #10 for Wind Instruments. You get the idea. Instruments can either be listed as a broad category, like Keyboard, Strings, Winds, Voice, or they can be listed individually, like Harpsichord, Cello, Oboe, etc. The Album Date — if you feel the need, the original date that appears on the album. Often the release date, which I include as Rel2007, or the recording date, which I write as Rec1965. I don't pursue these dates, I only copy the date from the Year field here, just to have a record of when the album was released. Date Uncertainty — if you don't know the date of the composition, which, as you'll see next, I put in the Year field, I place a Date? at the end of the Comments field. Fix the Year I like putting the year the work was composed in the Year field. This is a nice way to put pieces in context

Hi Grant, That statement about getting a local Canadian number is only true if you happen to live in any of the larger cities like Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto, Montreal etc. It is annoying me no end that I am not able to get a local number just because I live in a small community in BC, but that's just the way it is.

Re: Home Security Systems
Hi Robin, Well, this topic has just become of great interest. we have a security system from Time Warner Cable. It's a an older system, however the newer system supports an App for the iPhone. I spoke with a rep tonight and we tried out the app on the call and it appears to be VoiceOver accessible. We are going to meet with a rep soon to discuss its uses and I may either purchase the new system, or perhaps switch over to ADT, we'll see how it goes. I'm interested in the thermostat functions. I have a talking thermostat already, but I'd be interested to know if I could control that remotely.

Re: Reading Ibooks.
Hi, In addition to what Teresa said, if you're using braille, read past the last line, pan left, and then give the Next Page command. This will take you to the top of the next page. And many braille displays have commands you can use instead of Space with O and Space with 2-4-6. On the Focus 40 Blue, for instance, pressing down on the right rocker button takes you to the next page, while pressing up takes you to the previous one.

This is where your books are organized. If you have books already, simply pick a book and double-tap to open it. With speech, you can begin reading the book by using the two-finger-downward-flick gesture. To pause and resume speech, you use the two-finger-single-tap. With speech VO will read continuously and turn pages as it goes. If you close IBooks in the middle of a book, it will retain your place when you open it again. You can always find the library at the top of the screen to choose another book. With Braille, you have to pair a Bluetooth display. Unfortunately you do have to turn pages manually with Braille by using dots 1-3-5-space for next page and dots 2-4-6-space for previous page. At the top of the screen are controls for Ibooks. When you go into the library, you can choose store to shop for books. HtH, Teresa On Nov 4, 2012, at 3:57 PM, Kawal Gucukoglu kawa...@me.com wrote: Hello All.

If someone wishes to explain, perhaps they should write to me off list as I want a step by step guide if that is not too much trouble as I can't read the books ow have on my I phone. Thank you in advance as this help will be appreciated. Perhaps someone could do a Podcast on this to demonstrate? Either in braille or using the Phone as I'd like to be able to do both please.

Re: Siri VS Google Search?
yes. it is wonderful in recognition but finding difficult to navigate the search results. had anyone found a way to do this?

Re: exchanging places on iphone screen!
Hello Ramy, If there is a folder in a particular position on the screen, there is a spot immediately to the right that will let you put an app in the position where the folder was without putting the app in the folder. So find the folder and slide your finger just slightly to the right. You should hear a click, and VoiceOver will tell you which row and column you are on. Release your finger when you're in the right place.

Re: iDevotional app: My Utmost For His Highest.
Vicki: It isn't clear to me from your description where you were looking. Were you at Christianaudio or in the iTunes store under apps. Did you look at the iDevotional app itself which contains My Utmost for His Highest. It costs $9.99 and I also would be a bit hesitant to buy it without knowing if the items in it are accessible. But I suppose the only way we will know is to have somebody buy it unless somebody has already done so and can report on it. From the description, it accesses Morning and Evening and My Utmost for His Highest. I could be wrong, but I don't think it's an app from within which you must buy other things so I'm not sure what the mention of things that cost $14 each refers to. This is why I am thinking maybe you went to Christianaudio directly instead of the app store but I'm not sure. Be careful because I think there's a music app by the same name. Here is the link: https://itunes.apple.com/ua/app/idevotional-daily-audio-devotional/id320305661?mt=8 -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: iPad Mini has arrived - first impressions
Hi neil, how do you think the sound of the mini compares to that of the ipad 3? I am hearing impaired. It is becoming more difficult to understand bookshare books on my phone. Thank you lynda Sent from lynda's iPhone On Nov 4, 2012, at 11:47 AM, Rick Alfaro rick.alf...@gmail.com wrote: Eric, My intended uses for the Mini are the following. 1. Reading and replying to email, something that I find somewhat tedious on my 4s. On the Mini just as the regular ipad, you have containers so when using it for mail, it is very similar to what you would see in Outlook, or Outlook Express in that you have a list of messages on one part of the screen with the message content on another part so it's a split interface. I find this interface much more pleasant to use. This means I can now use the Mini anywhere in the house for mail without having to spend hours a day in front of my computer. 2. The Mini has very pleasant sounding speakers so it's great for listening to podcasts. For me, it's a nicer experience than on the phone. The speakers aren't' terribly loud, but certainly loud enough. For me the Mini is really a consumption device for podcasts, books, both audio and non-audio. This would also hold true for the iPod but with the added benefit of a larger screen and more reading area. Surfing on the Mini is really nice. I suggest you check one out before purchasing an iPod to see if it suits your usage patterns. Personally, I don't like wearing headphones which is another reason why I like the Mini with its built-in speakers. Best, Rick -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Eric SS Sent: Saturday, November 03, 2012 8:47 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: iPad Mini has arrived - first impressions Rick, I had been considering the Mini as a means of cancelling telephone service and just using Google Voice or Skype for the very occasional calls I make. I had ordered the WIFI and cellular device. I wish the Touch came in a cellular version because it just seems the added screen size of even the Mini is wasted for those of us with no sight. In the meantime, I changed my Verizon plan, which now gives me unlimited talk time. While I do make few calls, they do tend to be lengthy. How did someone who doesn't like talking on the phone end up with friends who use it so much? So, I decided I would cancel my Mini order. It was interesting that I had placed my order within the first 2 hours of Apple taking orders, and I was told the WIFI/cellular would ship mid November, when I looked at the ship date at cancellation it was November 23. All of that might be of no interest, but what I will be curious to see from you guys who got the Mini, the totally blind users, what advantages are you seeing to having it and an IPhone? I have not discounted getting one, but I did think I would wait until I at least got to hold one before ordering. Thanks for comments on how you see yourself using the Mini along with your phone and maybe why a WIFI Mini has advantages over a WIFI Touch. The best!
