Podcast</FONT></A><FONT size=6>. Near the end, they mentioned the <EM><A

520</A></EM>. This is a windows phone running the Windows Phone 8
operating system. This is an alternative to Apple’s iOS and Android
phones. What makes this interesting is that you can get one for $99
without a contract. You can sign up for service with AT&T or not sign
up for service and use it only on WiFI, similar to the way someone could use an
iPod Touch. </FONT></DIV>

right out of the box. I don’t know if there are any accessible apps that
are available either. I’m hoping someone will chime in here. If it
could be made accessible, you could use it as a media player, GPS navigation
device, contact manager, calendar and many of the other things people use phones
and iPods for these days. You would probably want to buy an SD card for
extra storage. Depending on how much storage you would want, that would
cost from $5 to $50. </FONT></DIV>
