[nabs-l] Technology questions

[frandi.galindo at gmail.com]

I believe I missed the beginning of this conversation, but I think I have 
the jist of it.  I also have Verizon and I am currently using the iPhone. 
It is a bit complicated at first, but the more you use it, the easier it 
gets.  Plus it has many many great apps for either free, or cheap.  The most 
I spent on an app was 50 dollars and it happened to be a GPS app called 
Navigon.  Jaws can be pirated on line, but I would advice against it.  I saw 
the haven, and I wasn't to impressed with it.  I have to give Verizon props 
however for coming out with a phone that is  mostly acceseble.  I would have 
got that phone if the voice was crystle clear, if the reaction betwene the 
press of a key and the actual execution of the command of said key, and if 
the rate of speech could be adjusted.  There are some windows phones that 
use mobile speak, and talks but I am not sure if they even make them any 
more.

Hello,

I also have Verizon which to my knowledge there is the Samson Haven
which is fairly accessible from what I noticed.  I have one myself and
have been impressed with it.  There is also the new IPhone which in
inquiring from a friend who is blind and told me its hard at first,
but once you get use to it it is great.

As for JAWS I don't know of any special licenses, but last I knew it
cost about $800 or so.
