Just today I was riding in the car with my wife, grumbling about not being able to send my friend a video. After a couple of minutes, I realized what I was doing wrong, of course there was nothing wrong with the iPhone, and sent the video.
I said to my wife," I know I complain about this thing, but it is pretty incredible that a blind guy can send a friend a thousand miles away a video from a moving car." She said it was good to hear me say that.
