Bernard,
You could always jail break it which allows you then to use your own
sounds.
That's what a friend of mine has done. He has the start trek communicator
noise when he gets a text.

Hi Ronit,
I do use Facebook with Safari, and unfortunately, I have found no way to update
status or write on walls from the full site. It's very annoying, it shows you
the Share button, but not the edit box. But I have not found any way to
change this.

Hi all,
The problem with this is that the lite site, like the mobile site, won't let
you interface with the apps. Personally, I really think this is something
Apple needs to work on.

Hi Everett,
I agree 100%. And, I would add that it isn't fair that Apple should have to
deal with other developers' sloppy design. That said I do think it's in
Apple's best interest to do so. Personally, I'd love to see more blind users
switch to the Mac, but it's hard to make that argument
Yes you can.

NLS does not allow their books to be read using a computer no matter what kind
it is, I don't explaine it, I just report it. They are very concerned about
copyright violations, and they don't want people to use their material who are
not eligible to do so.
