But some blind people are alone much of the time, so using itunes at
least gives them a way to do it independently.

This is probably a dumb question, yet in all my reading never saw a need
for
jaws.  I thought the beauty of this was voice over already installed.
When
I had a friend demo it, she just turned the accessibility feature on.

When I purchased my iPhone, it was registered for me at the Apple store.
However, once at home, I installed iTunes and registered it without
trouble
as far as I recall. I am using JAWS 11. Be patient, ask for help at the
Apple store or a sighted friend. Once online, so to speak, it's quite a
learning curve and one must work at getting accustomed to the gesture
technique. Good luck.

I just got my I phone, for the life of me I can not get the thing
registered, I am trying to use jaws11 and Itunes9
I was able to get my first and last name put in, but It stopped reading
the
other fields, I have never seen anything like that before ever.
Is this one of these things to were it's not accessable without sight??
I knew it was to good to be true, all this stuff everyone is saying
about
the I phone being accessable to the blind, there always has to be
something
that wont work.
I know there was some talk on the list a while ago, but if anyone has
any
ideas on getting this thing working could you get ahold of me.
I know that Itunes says that they perfer window eyes 7.1 with the
software,
well we all know the problem in solving that problem.
I'm at the point of takeing this thing back.
