>> So I i discovered this really awesome app and the iPhone just this afternoon.  It's a new app that just came out yesterday, called FlickType.  What it is is an app that allows someone who is blind to type more quickly and efficiently on the iPhone keyboard, rather than always having to double tap and/or hold every letter as it's entered, which can be tedious.  The app allows the individual to just single tap a letter as if you're typing on a regular Braille or Qwerty keyboard.  I found out about this app through a Facebook group I'm part of, and some of the people that commented say that it makes them type much faster then they normally would.  Have any of you guys tried it out? Again, it just came out yesterday, so not everyone may have, but I think it's a really cool app that everyone should check out.
