[Electronics-talk] iPod Recommendations for a Complete iNewbey

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi,
glad you are getting the ipod touch as I think it meets your needs.
I hope you find it easier than me.  what's on the home screen? are there 
many icons?
I have to use the flat screen for my ipod as that's all that's made 
accessible. no other mp3 player is accessible and plays the itunes music.


I still don't understand what swipe means. I may do it and don't know it, 
but the motion I was shown to make is a fast stroke with one finger to 
change screens and I think that's  a flick.

Hope you like your ipod touch. I believe it can get all the aps the iphone 
does. But, I don't think the touch has a camera. so you cannot scan with it 
or take pictures of items if that's the case. but it’s a rather versitile 
thing.

Ashley

Hi All,
  My name is Chris and I am new to this list. I am totally blind and have a 
set of questions that I am hoping some here may be able to provide some good 
answers to!

  I am considering purchasing my first iPod. I am particularly interested in 
iPods that can access apps and the internet.

  Because I am very new to the iDevice realm, I am clueless as to  what is 
best to purchase. I am looking for the following:

1)  Ability to purchase apps and if possible download and play NLS, Learning 
Ally, and Audible books.

2)  Speech software.

3)  Relatively blindness friendly.

  Also, because as I mentioned I am totally new to the iDevices, I was 
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.

  My final question will likely seem very ignorant to some here, and I 
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:).

Have a wonderful summer everyone!
