[nfbcs] Accessible IPod

[Jim Barbour]

Hey William,

There are two accessible ipods (well, technically 3 - see below)

The one you most likely want is an iPod nano.  It comes in 16 or 32 GB
sizes, and only the music part is accessible.  i.e. the clock,
contacts list, etc. are not accessible.  This is generally not
considered a problem.

The other two are the ipod touch or the iphone.  I'll talk about the
ipod touch, the main difference tetweeen the touch and the phone is
the phone.

The ipod touch will play your music, and will also let you use a bunch
of other applications - everything from streaming radio to games to
productivity applications.

Both options require that you have a PC with a screen reader, so you
can run iTunes.  You'll need a recent version of JAWS, Window Eyes, or
System Access.

I help this helps,

Jim
