Yep, but that assumes you are comfortable with i phones and the like,
touch screens and so forth, which I'm not. Just doesn't make sense to
me. The thing most I phone users don't seem to understand is that it
isn't easy for all of us and they're not for everyone. But, it is the
same old attitude I have seen among the blind for years. Everybody
should use what I use and my way is the only way. I have an I pod touch
5 or whatever it is and I am going to smash it to bits some day.
