You could get an older version of the iPod touch. The older 
generations are often much cheaper than the newer ones.

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone can help me out.  I have the I phone 
four s and it
keeps freezing and it works with voice over when I go to the 
apple store for
them to reset it.  I need a I pod.  I have looked online and the 
new I pod
is to expensive.  Is there a accessable I pod to get that is not 
too
expensive.  I need one asap so I can read my learning li and book 
share
books for school.  Any help would be great and I need answer 
asap.  You can
email me back at beckyasabo at gmail.com the only request for the I 
pod it
needs voice over on it .
Thanks again.
Becky Sabo

A few other apps that I like, in addition to the ones mentioned:
 *My AT&T: Check your usage and make payments from your phone in
seconds
 *Flashlight: Just what it sounds like. It uses your battery 
fast,
though, since the flashlight is essentially constant use of the 
flash
feature of your phone  *Talking Scientific Calculator: I use this 
for
school, very handy in  math and science classes
 Dictionary.com: A dictionary at your fingertips. It doesn't use 
WiFi
or your data plan unless you need to find words similar to what 
you
type, such as if you mispell the word  *Blackboard Mobile Learn:
Another great school app that I use almost  daily. It gives you 
full
access to Blackboard
 Pages: Apple's word processor. Type your notes in class using 
your
phone and bluetooth keyboard, then e-mail them to yourself. Great 
tool
if you don't have a laptop or don't feel like dragging the heavy 
thing
around
 Moxy: A word-making game that is fully accessible
 ZaniTouch: Like BopIt except with iPhone gestures. My high score 
is 75
gestures.
 Papa Sangre: A more challenging game where you have to collect 
musical
notes while avoiding enemies  *White House: News straight from 
the
President's office, great for  keeping up with federal programs 
and
what the president and his wife  are up to
 *AccessWorld: The AFB's monthly magazine, which often has 
reviews on
products and books that are very useful  *NFB Newsline: Amazing 
app
that brings Newsline to your phone without  having to call the 
number.
All the same features are there, so it's  easy to learn  *iBlink 
Radio:
This is the app to go to for your local reading radio  service, 
as well
as other radio statioons such as a 24/7 Olde Time  Radio Shows 
station
*Food on the Table: Find recipes by category, then add them to a
grocery list that you can add non-ingredient items to as well and 
use
to go shopping. This is great for organizing meals and trying new
recipes  *Savings STar: Have a card for your local grocery store? 
Put
the card  info into this app, select coupons from a list, and 
when you
go  shopping, the savings go into an account that you can have 
mailed
to  you after $5 is racked up. No more cutting coupons or dealing 
with
paper coupons of any kind!
 *WalkScore: Looking to move? Check out the walk score for the 
new
neighbourhood to find out if it's suitable for someone who 
doesn't
have a car. The walk score is based on how close it is to stores, 
bus
stops, and the like, as well as how heavy traffic is and if it 
has
sidewalks.
 Oh Moby: Take a picture of something, and it searches for 
something
similar on the internet and tells you what you took a picture of. 
This
really works!
 *Prizmo: This is like SayText, but some people like it better. 
I'm
still playing with it, so I'm not sure of it yet, but there are 
lots
of tutorials online on how to use Prizmo.

 Sorry that was such a long list, but that goes thru all the apps 
I
 have that I would recommend to a blind person, not including the 
ones
 mentioned above, which I also endorse.

 A tip:When you get your iPhone, sit down with a tech at the 
Apple
 store near you and have them show you how to use VoiceOver, how 
to set
 up your e-mail, and how to set up your bluetooth keyboard. If 
you
 bring the keyboard to them, they'll set it up for you; they did 
it for
 me! Then just play around with the phone and practice. In no 
time,
 you'll be an expert at it.
