@blindtech Use nvda, SA, and Window Eyes.
@blindtech Don’t use my phone as a substitute computer. Have a portable system which I am very fond of.
@blindtech My phone has a built-in GPS. Comes with the firmware. I use it for GPS, email, txt, calls and calendar-oriented stuff.
@blindtech I can use my cam. For GPS I use my phone’s built-in. I haven’t experimented with news apps. Have a netbook for that.
@blindtech I think that, like other users, blind ppl should have a choice when it comes to accessibility.
@blindtech Specifically, I don’t agree with the “more free” part of your oppinion.
@blindtech And WMobile, which I use, is a version of Windows. Just deved for phones/pdas and not desktops.
@blindtech I respect your oppinion re: the iPhone, I’m just not sure I fully agree with it.
@blindtech which means that there are similarities which need to be taken into acount.
@blindtech And I never said that Linux and Unix are the same thing. I know very well that they are not. However, Linux is Unix-based,
@blindtech To be honest I don’t have a lot of available what with work and school.
@blindtech if we would only give up Windows and switch to the iPhone.
@blindtech Also, I’m not disputing the accessibility of the iPhone, I’m disputing your assertion that the blind community would be more free
@blindtech BTW, aren’t you the guy who was the Blind DJ way back when?
@blindtech Linux is a Unix-based OS. Yes I understand the differences. Trust me, you’re not the only one who’s worked with other OSes.
@blindtech No, it’s not just my oppinion. You can’t develop for the iPhone unless you follow Apple’s set of rules, or jail break it.
@blindtech which is also a Linux, and so also a Unix derivitive, has accessibility.
@blindtech And I also agree that built-in accessibility is a good thing. But we’re not going to be free until the Android OS,
@blindtech Granted, I don’t subscribe to the view that WMobile is perfect, it has its problems.
@blindtech And please don’t call me sweetheart. That term of endearment is reserved for my boyfriend.
