ACCESSIBLE WORLD TEK TALK PRESENTS A DISCUSSION OF THE NEW BOOK: GETTING
STARTED WITH THE IPHONE, AN INTRODUCTION FOR BLIND USERS, FEB. 21, 2011

News Wire:

The first ever book about the iPhone for blind users, with some 
bonus mini-tutorials, will be the topic for Tek Talk on February 
21. Anna Dresner and Dean Martineau will discuss their book, and 
will also each give a mini-course in i-device use. Anna will 
discuss reading on the iPhone, iPad and iPod, how and where to 
get books and how best to read them. Dean will discuss using 
Safari, the built-in web browser, to carry out advanced tasks 
like buying plane tickets, and will discuss some apps that make 
web use easier. After all this, there will be plenty of time to 
answer questions about the i-devices or about the National 
Braille Press Book.
