@blindtech Yeah I’m aware of that.

@blindtech And I’m not ragging on the iPhone. As I said, I’m merely disputing your “more free” assertion, not the tec aspect.

@blindtech Nope got laid off in early 2009, have gone back to school to up tec certifications and am still working as much as I can.

@blindtech But different screenreaders accomplish various tasks differently or better than others so keep my options open.

@blindtech Used to work for FS so seen Jaws on it’s really bad days, won’t even start to praise it to the heavens.

@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.
