Hi Nancy, Jellybean is even better. I'm a huge fan of android. The level of accessibility is not quite up to that on the IPhone yet, but for day to day use it works very well. There are also many apps that are crossplatform accessible, such as toonin radio or redlaser.
Considering my droid was half the price of an IPhone, the plans are far superior on android here, and I can get prepaid service when roaming outside the country, and considering that I actually like the formfactor of my current droid better than the IPhone and that I will have a choice of formfactors next year when I upgrade, android really is the perfect fit for me. I would love to help test digit-eyes for android if and when you are ready. I also recommend you check out the eyes-free google group [email protected]. Between viphone and eyes-free, you may have to upgrade your mail quota for the mail box bloat, and you better set up threading so that email doesn't take over your life; but you'll learn everything worth knowing about modern mobile platforms.
