Apple did it that way because they had enough room to do it that way, and it 
makes a lot of sense for sighted people. There is all that real estate there. 
Why just have all that vacant space and just a little bit of info? It makes no 
sense from AUI point especially if you can see.

>> Hello everybody,
>> 
>> Today I ordered an iPad mini from AT&T. I was able to get a promotion on it,
>> and it was a great deal for me. I'm very excited about this!
>> However, I have never had an iPad of any sort. How do they work? Are they

>> What sorts of things can you do with them, that you cannot do with the iPod?
>> 
>> I got done I pad mini for. The lady said that this was the latest
>> generation. I hope he is correct about that. I was able to get the 64 gig
>> model, and this really made me happy. Plus, I got it in silver. Not like
>> that really mattered. But I wanted to be a little different. They had gold.
>> But I thought that was a bit much! Will I be able to turn on voice over by
>> myself?
>> If so, how would I go about doing this?
>> Wooden buttons are on the iPad mini?
>> Also, is there a case I can get for the iPad mini, that comes with a
>> combination keyboard?
>> Or is this product too small for that?
>> 
>> Any help, or suggestions, would be very much appreciated.
>> 
>> Thank you so much!
