Having never seen this new model, it is hard to say what advantages the Bluetooth keyboard might be present for a voiceover user. Certainly with the previous Apple TV, which I do own, Bluetooth keyboard navigation is way faster than using the otherwise supplied remote. Typing in searches is so much more convenient as is navigating around the screen in general. Until we know how this touchpad remote is going to work for voice over users, nobody can say how much better or not better the Bluetooth keyboard support would be. And if the Siri search is truly reliable, then that's great. But we all know that Siri sometimes screws up, and in such cases, Shirley typing will be better than anything a touch screen offers. Mary
