In general terms (I don't own 1 so I can't get 2 specific) it's
an iPod manufactured by Apple that has many of the same
characteristics, including voiceover acessibility, as an iPhone.

Hi Sophie,
Yes, Becky could do this. However, she needs to make sure that
she has at
least the third generation iTouch, as VoiceOver is only on the
third gen and
later.

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.
