[Ohio-talk] iPad Fund Raising Project

Thanks Carol.  That is helpful.  Do you know if the accessibility
features are accessed the same way as the iPhone by double tapping when
you hear a letter or option you want?

The I-pad as many capabilities such as web access using Wi Fi or hot
spots if 
you are familiar with that term.  It also has 3G capability which means
you can 
also buy a "plan" from a carrier that will give it internet
connections using 
the phone access that cell phones use.  So basically anywhere you can
use your 
cell, you would have access with the 3G plan.  The plans vary in price
and 
amount of useage--in the average range of $25 per month.   This is not
required 
to use the I-pad.  It also uses most of the same apps that the I-phone
uses, can 
download books, access your email, surf the web, etc.  It just is not a
phone 
from what I understand.  (so it is more than a Kindle type)  Hope that
helps.
It is just as accessible as the I phone!

Sheri and Deborah  educated us recently about the iPhone and the details
of its accessibility features. And so just what does the iPad do? If we
are to sell tickets, we need to know what an iPad does and the details
of what it is like to use its accessibility features. Many sighted
people haven't paid attention to what these devices do either, so we
have to be able to tell them about it.  For instance, do you need some
sort of internet connection?

The National Federation of the Blind of Ohio will conduct a 
drawing for an iPad 32Ggig  with 3G connectivity.  With Voice 
Over Technology this device is fully accessible to the blind.  
The drawing will be held on July 8, at the National Convention in 
Orlando.  Tickets are $5 each.  We are asking all members and all 
chapters to help with this project.  William Turner took 75 
tickets for the Cleveland Chapter.  Although the tickets say it 
is a 16Gig it is not.  It is a 32Gig.
Each person is fully responsible for the number of tickets that 
he or she is given.  If you take ten tickets and only sell five, 
then you must turn in the money and stubs for the five that you 
sold plus the five complete tickets that were not sold.

to get tickets call Carol Akers at (614) 570-2083.
Email purplecakers at yahoo.com
We are asking chapters and divisions that can afford to do so to 
contribute a minimum of $50 toward the cost of the  iPad.

Please do what you can to expand this project beyond our 
membership.  Think of places where you can set an information 
table and sell tickets.  If you have questions about this project 
you can email me or call (614) 556-0017.
Let's see who can sell the most tickets by July 8th.
Eric
