[nfbcs] Blind folks and the IPhone

Sat Jul 17 14:11:01 UTC 2010

either that or they didn't want to help me and left the store I am on the 
phone now calling apple.

They had told me there is no application for text to speech application on 
the Ipad only the voice over on the Iphone.

The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!
