that, as well as tiger, I think..

HI. Yes, without being able to see you have to hook it up to the
computer to turn on vo.
This is easy with itunes and window-eyes. I suspect it is easy with
jaws too but I have never tried it and I have never tried using nvda
with itunes so can't comment on the ease of use.
short version from memory.
When you first plug in the phone, you will be asked to set it up.
it will then appear in the sources treeview under devices.
Arrow to the phone and tab a time or to to get to summary tab. Tab a
few more times to reach a button called setup universal access or
words to that effect. This will have a group of radio buttons for
dealing with voice over and you want the on button. it will ask for
confirmation and give you a warning about it changing the interface on
the phone etc but once that has happened you are good.
Since I use mac itunes, I might have missed a bit or two but I have
done it for people on windows a couple of times and I think this is
basically correct.

Lol, we just got I phones today! Mark's n 95 is in the process of dying
and that's why we were thinking of upgrading this soon, anyway, but if
we could hold out until our upgrade date in Ap[ril, we were going to try
that instead to save some money. Anyway, we called our provider just on
a whim to see what they could/would offer if we threatened to leave and
they offered something we couldn't refuse, so we bit.
Is there anything we need to know when we get these things. We have to
call customer service so they can activate the sim cards in thephones,
but other then that, I think we need to hook them up to the pc to I
tunes to activate voiceover, etc, right? Anything else, like calibrating
the touch screen, etc?

Well Cait, when it comes down to sharing, I'd go for the iPod because
as much as I love my wife, I sure as hell won't share my toys with
her. :) Yep, when I got the iPhone, she had to have one as well or I
would never have heard the end of it. Now I said I was considering an
iPad and so, she is considering one as well. Maybe the real problem is
not sharing, but finding the time to share. :)
Good luck with whatever device you choose.

Thanks, Scott. Mark is trying to decide between the two, but he's
totally new to the world of Mac and also to touch screen
environments. I thought the pad would just be easier and might be
more functional then the touch... But where we live, we can get two
of the touches for one of the pads, which has some appeal as we
wouldn't have to share.

Caitlyn,
Some argue the iPad is a larger iPod; however, that is incorrect.
There are of course many similarities, but the interface is
different. THe additional screen size does allow for a different
navigation experience for both blind and sighted individuals. SOme
would say the web browsing is much easier and provides a greater
idea of the page layout. I am sure those who have both devices will
comment more extensively, but I am giving the iPad some serious
consideration for my family. I can see using the iPad to serve a
variety of needs and having a central or couple of central machines
for syncing and purposes that are not suited to the iPad. I already
have an iPhone and find this to be incredibly useful; however, I
feel the iPad does meet a need and certainly I can see it taking the
place of a notebook while traveling when a full-blown machine is not
required.

Hi,
My husband wants me to ask what the differences are between the I
pad and the I pod touch.
As far as I can see, the only difference is the size. Is this so,
and if not, what are the others?
Thanks,
Caitlyn
