style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Now, I must be honest that even though I started with the iPhone 3GS and the first iPad and then got the 4, 4S through the 8SPlus, I seldom use it and the one reason why I kept these devices (I now only have the 7SPlus and the 8SPlus), is owed to the fact that I have a friend in Iowa who struggles with his iPhone and my sole reason for getting these last two that I have even after I stopped using the iPhone a long time ago, is just to be able to help him.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk73956809"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Thus, I am not all that good with the iPhone.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span

style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">For this call, what could make this work best, is if we have someone telling folks about what the iPhone does and then we can see how that is done on the android; thus, letting blind folks who otherwise think that android doesn’t do those things come to the knowledge that this is also available and doable on android.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk73956809"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk73956809"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Inasmuch as I am an android guy through and through, if there’s something that isn’t working right on android or doesn’t work on android, I am not ashamed in pointing that out and that probably has to do with the lack of a good braille support.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p

style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk73956809"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">So, if you don’t mind that my iOS usage and knowledge isn’t up to par, and that I could still come and primarily, like Judy, talk about Android, then I think we’re good.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk73956809"><span
