[Nfbmt] IPod, IPad, IPhone

Fri Jan 10 23:04:57 UTC 2014

Let the uneducated one speak first, and then everybody else can correct me.

You can use an IPod to download music and maybe podcasts.

You can use an IPad to download music and podcasts, to send texts, to
e-mail, to search the web, or to talk with or without video to someone else
who has an IPad.

You can use an IPhone to do all that plus make phone calls.

Is that close?

Questions...
What's the difference between an I pod, I Pad and I phone?

Yes you can get an IPhone case where the key board slides out.
On our phones now, the five S the clarity is loud and picks up well.
I products are not for all, where for those who would like to have one,, the
adventure begins.
We also have the IPod where we can down load books.
Do email texting anything except a phone call.
Where they have a program that is called face time.
This isn't an extra cost going threw WiFi.
You also have where you don't have to be seen on camera, you can just visit
as though you were on the phone.
Now it does crack me up when you are speaking to a sighted person. they are
saying things as Move the phone up no down a bit and on it goes.
To think that I don't have to lug a computer around, I can take miss mini my
I pad or work from either the phone or I Pod.
You can put the same information into miss mini, and leave I Pod at home.
Just depends on what you will also do with the machine.
This also has a case with a key board that we bought separately.
I love sharing, even if folks don't want to buy.
I love knowing that I helped with outreach.
this is what the nfb is all about.
