I stand by what I said, the TTS was never put there with
accessability in mind.

Um,
Actually,
The LGVX 4500 and Nokia 3rd generation phones have a TTS built in to
the OS.
rudimentary I admit but still, contrary to your statement...Keith

It doesn't actually, it has the wheel interface which current IPODS
have.
Blind organisations have actually made feelings known about the touch
screen on an I phone but having said that Apple has done allot to
impliment accessability into the device, the nature of the device
stops us from using it which is unfortuante however if you have a bit
of vision then you'll have no trouble whatsoever in using the I phone
I'm told. Various options regarding accessability for the I phone are
being explored, the most likely being the use of a blue tooth or
similar keyboard.
May I remind listers that if Apple certainly haven't done anything
about speech on a mobile phone then neither has Nokia, Samsung or
most other phone manifacturers, its been up to third party developers
to get that ball rolling such as those who have developped Talks, Hal
who have a system out to get mobile phones to speak etc.

organizations aren't calling them on that but I gues they don't fill
that is
worth the trouble.

Thankfully yes!
The majority of the sighted market.
definitely not the accessible market
I've been using a 120 gig hard drive on an accessible jukebox for three
years now.
It's nice to see that Apple is finally catching up.

Well yep, I get that from my phone too but I don't get a 120 gig hard
drive and I'm afraid that I'm not going to lose any sleep whatsoever
if Apple doesn't bother with speech on an Ipod, with luck there may
be Rockbox for the 6th generation and here's hoping but even if their
isn't, I can still use my Ipods quite happily and as far as I know,
the "wheel" interface will stay the same so no, sorry, its not the
end of the world and yep, thankfully, Apple are acting for a majority
in the market.

Sorry dude!
Not impressed. I get all this from my smart phone and Rockbox.
Now, if your telling me that Apple is going to launch the promised
speech
capabilities of Ipods, then I will really be impressed...KG

Ok, that's what today's press here is writing about and what's so
good about this. Some excellent features on the way including Wi-Fi
built-in and best of all in my view, blue tooth compatibility for
file transfer and stereo communications with headphones and speakers
and a 120 Gig hard drive.
