[Trainer-talk] iPhone 4 information

[Vencer Cotton]

Hi I want to change the way I select letters and numbers.  My friend Mike 
Tendell showed me how to do it on my Ipod several months ago and I forgot 
how to do it.  I want to be able to drag my finger over the keypad and just 
lift it above the desired letter or number and select it instead of double 
tapping.  That will speed my entry up so much.  Also, is there a google 
group for those using voiceover on the iphone? Thanks group.  I finally 
moved over to the Iphone 4 on Friday.  I really love it.  I just want to get 
some really good apps and make that change and I will be in business.
Peace.

Hi

I've had the iPhone 4 for around five months now, I have no vision at
all.  I find it completely accesible and one of the most magical
pieces of technology I have ever used.

It is just different to a Nokia with Talks, but it honestly took me
less than a week to feel totally comfortable with it.  There are a ton
of podcasts and guides to be found, I find

www.AppleVis.com

very useful, especially the reviews of aps from an accessability point of 
view.

If your still not sure in a few days, let me know and I will give you
some pointers via Skype.  I doubt we'll need to though, it's really
lovely to use once you get used to it.
