Flipboard is nice and you can link different accounts to it like your Facebook profile, Twitter and so on. It's supposed to be similar to a magazine so there's a big visual emphasis to it, but even then, it's still pretty accessible. I believe that there's a democast on how to use it with Voiceover out there on one of the technology blindcentric sites, but I forgot which one. The iPad version works different than the iPhone version though.

It is a news app that lets you choose the categories of news you want then presents you with the headlines. If you find one you want to read just double tap on it and it opens and can be read with VO. Flipboard is quite accessible. All the buttons work. There is also a guide that I haven't played with yet. Three finger swipe to move down a page works but the sound we are used to isn't there but the page does advance. There are buttons at the top of the screen and the bottom of the screen. I have to play with it a lot more but it looks promising. There is a sign in but you don't need it. I use the two finger swipe down to read an entire article. Have fun -Steve P.S. Did I mention it's free? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
