[Electronics-talk] iPod Recommendations for a Complete iNewbey

[Fred Wurtzel]

Hello,

I agree that an iPod is a wonderful dvice.  I would add a recommendation
that you check out the National Braille Press for their array of training
materials for Apple devices, including the iPod.  These come in Braille, as
a plain text file or an HTML formatted publication.  These are well-written
by blind users and will be very helpful.

Warm Regards,

Fred

Hi,
I would recommend the iPod Touch latest generation. It is fairly easy to
learn and is relatively inexpensive. You don't have to pay for a data plan.
When you get the device, just press the round home button once to wake the
device if it is on and then press that button three times quickly. If you
are looking for a resource for accessible apps, as well as getting started
tips with your new iPod, you can go to www.applevis.com.
Hope that helps.

wondering if anyone could tell me about how easily accessible these devices
are, especially if not having sighted assistance when first learning to use
the device. In other words, when I take the device out of the box, how do I
get started. Any other assistance, recommendations, suggestions, or thoughts
would be much appreciated.

apologize for that, but please just bare with my lack of knowledge:)! I know
that with iPhones you have to purchase a data plan to access online
features. Is this true for the iPods in order to access the internet or can
you just do so from your already purchased home internet plan via wireless
access? Hopefully this  question makes some sense:).
