As an IT professional surley you must have a program to educate the blind. The iPad certainly does. In fact there is no barrier to blind folks using the Apple iPads touch screen. Would you believe that security doesn't even factor into it's use. I guess Apple thought it was important enough to bother.

In fact; The Apple iPad is one hundred percent accessible straight out of the box. Like many other products that require the blind to install third-party software in order to use them successfully, which requires more money to be spent, the iPad has Voiceover technology integrated into the device that enables all aspects of the iPad to be utilized.

Still standing by your statement "It's a solution in search of a problem"?
Man this is fun. Hope your smiling?

You mean like Windows XP in 2001?

Nice job though, it only took you a year to come up with an example of a use for an ipad beyond surfing and as a bigger iPhone.

Let's get this thread back on track, please. No more name calling or personal stuff. We've got a lot of knowledgeable guys and valid opinions here and I'd actually like to hear what they have to say and not have it reduced to a bashfest.







Chuck Norris FTW!

Okay kids, if you can't play nice you'll be sent to your rooms without your iPads (and/or other tablets) for the night.



The ORIGINAL tablet (not as good for porn as the iPad?)

Order placed at 12:55am for two 32GB iPad2s.

Apple announced that online sales would start at 1:00am PST but we were clicking away at 12:50am. Some Apple fanbois will be all torqued about the early start.
