[Blindtlk] Question re: IPads

[Graves, Diane]

Good Morning All,

I am considering purchasing some more portable computer technology, and, from time to time I have read posts by list members mentioning the use  of their IPads. My understanding is that the IPads are touch screen devices, and I'm just wondering if they can be used by a totally blind person? If so, how are the touch screens navigated, and what types of screen readers can be used.

Any insight appreciated.
