You know they make a rubber keyboard that you can roll up and is about the
size of one of those little short umbrellas when it's rolled up and when
unrolled is the size of a standard keyboard...

Yes, I agree with you on that. I don't have any touch screen devices. I
think my laptop can be used in that way, but I am happy to say that it still
has a keyboard. And when my cell phone goes, I will be getting another one
with buttons. Pam.

Problem is you i phone users think everyone can use one and can use a
touch screen. They are not for everyone. I think blind folks fall into
that worse than any group. if it works for me, it is great for
everyone....

the box gives the blind user access to GPS, internet searches, txt
messageing, etc, without the need of an expensive piece of software that
at best in moderately useable. It's just a matter of time.

Greetings all.
I've just flicked through the latest edition of Access World from AFB. We
are promised CSUN updates in April.
In the 21st Century, and with our accessible technology industry going
through significant change, not to mention the demise of the pony express,
the failure of someone to get down and dirty with VFO leadership suggests
to me that we are being let down by credible information sources.
Quite reasonably, AFB promotes its sponsorship of the Blind Bargain blogs
concerning CSUN events and exhibits, but these don't cut it iehter.
One of the disappointing things about services like Apple Vis is that
although often people exchange useful information, the leadership fails to
critique the shortcomings of Apple with respect to its developments in the
specialty area of access. The same seems true on the Windows side of the
divide - with no one prepared to critique VFO's behaviours.
Vaughan.
