This touch screen can be difficult to use for sure so we must consider about choosing the better option. But thanks to Steve Jobs that he is at least trying to do something. Oh and definitely thanks for this article. It was interesting to read it and I will be waiting for more nice articles from you in the future too. Thanks!Sincerely,Brandon Thompson from iphone development Sun 29 Nov 2009 15:01:57 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/ouch/2009/06/an_accessible_iphone.html?page=12#comment3 Hiya,Is there any mention of Apple using Resistive touch screen technology so that people who use pointers are able to use Iphone. I'm desperate to get an Iphone but can't use it yet as the screen relies on the heat and elctronic pulses from your finger to operate.Any aadvice would be amazing!Thanks, Jx Wed 15 Jul 2009 10:52:15 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/ouch/2009/06/an_accessible_iphone.html?page=8#comment2 ?why is it that apple are more fawords with accessibility .i have a apple iphone 3gs, and i am happy with the accessibility features, if you can"t see to turn voiceover you can turn it on in itunes settings. at lest you don"t need to put software on to a phone to make it speak like mobile speak and talks.with the iphone if you are signed with mobile me you can find you if you lose it & you can remotely remove your data if it gets stolem, mobile me works with pc and apple mac, the only thing is to buy from the itune store on the phone you need a wireless connection Fri 10 Jul 2009 16:19:46 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/ouch/2009/06/an_accessible_iphone.html?page=4#comment1 I'm not blind, and my co-ordination is fine.I just *like* buttons.The one kind of phone that was inaccessible to me were those smartphones with a stupid pokey pen thing - I couldn't use those because of my poor grip. Thankfully they seem to have died a death.But it was those stupid pokey pen things that drove me in the direction of the BlackBerry - a smartphone that didn't have them. And I'm still in love with it.

I'm looking forward to trying it out.Apple have stated that the VoiceOver application can be turned on by going to the Settings option on the home screen and then to Accessibility. That's what I'll have in my head anyway to ask someone in a shop when it comes out.This new iPhone could be a mainstream phone which doesn't require any additional screen reader software to operate. Nokia, Sony, Blackbury, Palm, take heed! Definitely worth bearing in mind if you're having trouble convincing a mobile operator to subsidise use of Talks/MobileSpeak/Smart Hal etc. Tue 09 Jun 2009 17:27:37 GMT+1
