While I used a pc for many years before getting my iPhone and iPad, the portability of the iPhone and iPad has made a world of difference in the way I do things, and has widened the scope of what I am able to accomplish without sighted help. My iPhone has played a huge role in my ability to learn to play the harp, which began as an older adult, in 2010. I am able to record my lessons on my phone, and easily transfer them to my pc. The Talking Tuner app allows me to keep my harp in tune. Youtube and iTunes make it possible to hear variations on a song I might be learning. A metronome app helps me to work on rhythm in difficult sections of music. And, Facetime allows me to take a lesson from a teacher 2 states away from where I live. For several years my husband and I vended at conferences. The Square app allowed me to take credit cards independently, and the money reader app helped me to keep my money organized. When traveling by car, the Maps app allows me to get a better sense of where we are. I can check the weather in our destination ahead of time, so I can decide what to pack. I can ask Siri to suggest restaurants, etc. in the area as we travel, and get directions on how to get there. I can set a wake up alarm. These devices have become such a major part of my life, that the list could go on forever. The thing I do the least with my phone is talk on it. When at home, I still prefer our land line phone for that Karen P -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
