We've all seen it right? Our friends, family members, and complete strangers listening to music on an iPod or making phone calls and sending email on an iPhone. It's a reality that surrounds us and until recently, people who could not see the tiny LCD screen were left in the dark and excluded from this current cultural trend. Thanks to some new innovations from Apple though, this is no longer the case. Certain versions of the popular iPod MP3 player and iPhone cellular phone are now equipped with speech output and are usable by those of us who cannot see the screen. It's about time! Rather than go into all the details I will provide 3 links to pages on Apple's accessibility site describing the accessibility features of the iPod nano, iPod touch, and iPhone. The amazing thing is that the iPod touch and iPhone are touch screen devices and have no traditional buttons for control. Apple has developed a technique for touch screen operation by a blind person which I believe opens the door for many future opportunities. Read on and enjoy. -Ryan
