Using an iPhone

Are you interested in getting an iPhone?

The National Braille Press has a new resource, "Getting Started with the iPhone: An Introduction for Blind Users" by Anna Dresner and Dean Martineau, available in braille, eBraille, ASCII text/Word, and DAISY formats, for $18. 

From the NBP website: "The iPhone. You know you want one. You can use your iPhone to check email and Twitter, listen to music, listen to radio programs from faraway places, read eBooks, verify your walking or driving location, pay bills and transfer funds, monitor the weather across the planet, time recipes, awaken to the alarm clock, be reminded of appointments, exchange text messages, play a wide variety of games, play the auto harp and ocarina, fight with a light saber that makes different sounds as you move your hand around, scan bar codes, make multi-track recordings, cure a headache - even to make and receive telephone calls! You'll be blown away by the power and flexibility of this device. To be able to do so much with a gadget that fits into a pocket is absolutely amazing. And it's accessible out of the box!"

According to the NBP website, "While this book focuses on the iPhone, most of it also applies to the iPod Touch, and much of it applies to the iPad."
