Hi All,
  I was wondering if anyone here can help me out a little. I am working with someone who is interested in gaining information about the usability of the iPhone and vision loss (e.g., its usability, and whether you can do everything on it verbally, especially with a touch screen). I know the iPhone, especially G4 is supposed to be quite usable, though I had no success personally:), and thus am not going to be able to personally give useful info from my own experience. Relatedly, this person is interested in the advantages and challenges of switching from a PC to a Mac as a screen reading software user. In other words, what is the learning curve like, what are the benefits of switching to a Mac when one is visually impaired and a user of both ZT and JAWS... Any information others here can provide would be much appreciated.
With very warm regards,
Christine
