[blindkid] Older iPod Touch Question

[Lynda Zwinger]

Hi all,

Great discussion--thanks very much.

One thing to add:  we found out through hard experience that iPod Touches
before the 4th model are not accessible.  (Note:  Apple says the 3GS is
accessible as well--I can't say from first hand experience is this is so or
not, but I do know that 4th is, and 2nd is not.)

A good source for refurbished older models is the Apple Store, located at
apple.com.

all best,
Lynda
