Hi Chris,
My guess is that you may be able to use a restricted set of the VO
keyboard commands with the iPad. On the iPhone and the iPod Touch you
have VO gestures for the rotor to change modes for input and also to
use for navigation. Although you do your typing on the virtual
keyboard, and use gestures for the other touch screen functions, I
can't imagine that the iPad would make you alternate between typing on
a keyboard and then moving over to touch the screen just to handle
some of the navigation you would carry out with gestures on the touch
screen. That would really be clunky! On the other hand, one of the
current limitations with using VoiceOver on the iPhone or iPod Touch
is that you can't use find or move to an arbitrary position in a
document or a web page, You can flick through links etc. but you can't
move to an arbitrary position based on a context search. It would
really be nice if features like these could be added. One of the
things that would make reading eBooks more convenient with VO would be
general bookmarking of specific locations within pages on the device.
Cheers,
Esther

Now that the reviews have been released it turns out the iPad's
bluetooth supports using Apple's real wireless keyboard. I think in
past posts there were some questions about using an external
keyboard. I wonder if this means VO keyboard commands will work or
is it only for typing in text?
