[Nfbmt] Fwd: [Trainer-talk] Another Resource for Visually ImpairedApple users

[Dan Burke]

The Nexus 7 is an Android OS. I had the opportunity to play with the
tablet (not the phone), and it is getting there in terms of
accessibility.

In fact, I am not sure what the comparable phone from Google is called
- Nexus 4 or something?

The iPhone just works, as a lot of blind people like to say. You're
tied to the platform as far as the apps and music, etc, that you might
buy for it, for the most part.

However, I don't think the Nexus is quite as nonvisuallly accessible
as the iPhone yet.

How's that for equivocation?
