Drew,
Exactly; also; I'm looking for information. I borrow someone's device now,
but don't have one of my own.
If I did get an ipod touch or I phone, I certainly do not have much money to
spend on additional features until I have a job.
Asking other blind people about prices and usability is a good way to see
what is out there and whether it is worth pursuing to have for oneself.

I believe the info about an app being free or not helps to know if it's
something even to look into.

Don't take this the wrong way, but, I see a lot of questions asking if apps
are free or not. Doesn't it tell you before you confirm the download?
