[gui-talk] I Touch info needed!

[Tai Blas]

You can buy an accessory to add GPS to an iTouch, but it adds bulk to the unit and I am not sure how well it works with VoiceOver, the iTouch's built-in screenreader.

Tom:

First, if you want a GPS application, you'll have to buy an iPhone, not an iPod Touch.  Also, if you buy an iPod Touch, you'll only be able to access the Internet where there's wi-fi.  An iPhone can access the Internet through the cellular data network.  That's OK; you should just know this at the start.

Second, even though you're buying an iPod Touch, I'd still recommend purchasing Anna Dresner's and Dean Martineau's book "Getting Started with the iPhone" from National Braille Press.  The info on VoiceOver, gestures and the built-in apps is relevant to iPods also

Hi Everyone,
I am planning to buy a I Touch 32.
Is there a good place to buy this I Touch?
I also want   to buy a Blue Tooth keyboard is there a good model to buy
which is good?
Is there a list of aPps which are accessible for the blind, such as GPS,
color ID, bar code reader and other good    ones?
It's sound so good now that I think it is time for me to buy one.
Thanks for any help.
From, Tom Blume
