[nabs-l] ipad verses blindness products

[Chris Nusbaum]

Kind of.  But the gestures for it (it's entirely touch screen) 
take a little getting used to.  By the way, if anybody has a list 
of VoiceOver gestures, please send them to me.  Thanks!

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."
-- Kenneth Jernigan (President, National Federation of the Blind, 
1968-1986

 The I C.A.N.  Foundation helps blind and visually impaired youth 
in Maryland say "I can," by empowering them through providing 
assistive technology and scholarships to camps and conventions 
which help them be equal with their sighted peers.  For more

 I'd justify that the iPad is a cheap option.  The BrailleNote is 
hard to
 repair and neeeds thousands of dollars just to maintain.  I love 
my BNQT
 Apex, but let' face it.  It's really expensive.

 P.S.  does anyone know what happened to Bluetooth on the 
BrailleNote?

 Guys, I have a braille 'n speak, but I think it has bit the 
dust.  I was
 thinking of getting a braille note, but some one suggested 
getting an
 iPad, or a laptop.  I did some research on the iPad, and here's 
what I've
 found.

 Do any of you use iPad's, and if so, who purchased it for you? 
If VR
 purchased it, How do you justify need for an Ipad? Sincerely, RJ
