[nabs-l] Questions Regarding the iPad

[Chris Nusbaum]

Helga,

To answer your first question, I don't think there is any point in purchasing an iPad when you already are using an iPhone and a laptop. The chief difference between an iPad and an iPhone is that the iPad is bigger and consequently has a bigger screen. This may be of some importance to someone with low vision, but I have a totally blind person do not find it important. In fact, I found the iPads size to be a drawback when compared to the much more portable iPhone when I was using an iPad for school. The only reason you might want another device for school is for memory reasons. However, you could just as easily purchase an iPod touch which is much more portable but has the memory you need to store the documents you need for classes. This is what I chose to do after finding that I didn't like the iPad.

To answer your second question, there is a Microsoft office app available for iOS. However, this app is inaccessible. I would recommend apples pages app for wordprocessing on your iPhone or another iOS device. This app enables you to open, save and edit files, as well as share them with others in a variety of different file formats including Microsoft word. If you are using an iPhone 5C or 5S, this app is free. If you are using an older model it is $9.99.

Hope this helps,

Chris Nusbaum

> Hi guys, this is Helga. Good morning! I just wanted to tell you that I'm currently using an iPhone and a laptop that have JAWS install in it for school. What I wanted to ask you is, do you think it would it be worth it to buy an iPad for school even though I use an iPhone and a Laptop for school and for many other things? Just curious! Also, I just wanted to ask you, does the iPad and iPhone have Microsoft word int it, so that I could write my papers and assignments? Just wondering. I will really appreciate it, if you could give me some suggestions regarding this. Thanks and God bless!! :)
