[nabs-l] Question about IPhone through Verizon

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Justin,

The trick for any blind user of an iDevice is knowing the 
gestures.  I have an iPod Touch, and have only recently gotten 
the gestures down.  I'd just advise you to play around with the 
gestures and learn what they do.  You could start out playing 
around with the VoiceOver practice, which you can get to from 
settings, accessibility, VoiceOver, VoiceOver practice.  Once on 
that screen, you can try the different gestures out: flick, 
swipe, double-tap, etc, and VoiceOver will tell you what these 
gestures do.  You can also check out www.applevis.com, which is a 
great resource for podcasts and other tutorials for using 
different parts of the iPhone/iPod/iPad with VoiceOver, as well 
as accessible apps.  Another great resource for getting started 
with the iPhone is the book...  well...  "Getting Started with 
the iPhone," which is available from National Braille Press; I 
believe it is available in both hardcopy Braille and e-Braille.  
Just play around with it and take advantage of the wonderful 
resources on the Internet that can help you! The touch screen and 
gestures will seem a little tedious at first, but just be patient 
and I'm sure you'll get the hang of it.  Good luck and have fun!

Chris

"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."

Hi to all!

Hope you are all doing well.  I recently just bought the Verizon
Wireless Iphone 4.  I was wondering how many of you have a 
similar
phone or this phone.  If you do could you please suggest ways to 
use
it.

Thanks in advance,

Justin
