Hi Dark, Well, I think he was talking about getting a Nexus more or less as a tech toy to play with rather than getting more games so on. From what I have researched there are games for Android, but definitely nowhere the quantity available for iOS.
Based on my own personal experiences I think Android is usable, but nothing over the top or fantastic yet. For a casual end user iOS devices be it iPhones, iPads, and iPods is the best choice for a blind user given the accessibility and number of apps available. This could change in the next year or two the way Android is slowly catching up access wise, but its not really prime time for everyone. Especially, given the fact there are a lot of older phones being sold through AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, etc and if a blind user doesn't really know what he or she is looking for in terms of a good Android phone he or she is likely to get a lemon which won't be as good as a newer model. Cheers!
