Which ā€˜i’ To Buy?

Posted on Sunday, November 17, 2013 by Jackie Brown
Apple has recently released the iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C, iPad Air, and iPad Mini with Retina display.  All these devices complement the company's existing stable of products.  So how do you decide what is right for you, and which i to buy?
 
My personal view - and of course this is very subjective - is to ask yourself the following questions:
 
  1. What do you anticipate using the device for?

What I Think Should be Sendero's top Priority for Development and why

Posted on Friday, July 12, 2013 by Scott Davert
Sendero Group has published a poll asking users what they would like to see as the next 2 features present in their next release of the Seeing Eye GPS app. It's great that they're taking user feedback seriously, but one of the things that people can vote on seems like it should be a higher priority than the others listed, as it's an accessibility issue.…

A recipe for iOS 7: revolution with an access flavor

Posted on Wednesday, May 22, 2013 by Amir Soleimani

As we're approaching Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference which is to be held on June 10th, I thought I'd put together a list of the features I want to see included in iOS 7. After all, iOS 7 is to be unveiled there and…

The optimal RSS reader: life in the post-Google Reader era

Posted on Friday, May 17, 2013 by Amir Soleimani

It was a shocker. When Google announced that Google Reader will shut down on July 1st, apart from the usual cycle of disvelief and sorrow the first thing which came to my mind was what to use after Google Reader's demise. On the one hand, Google Reader provides an easy way to read RSS feeds in a synchronyzed way regardless of one's platform of choice. On the other (and this is my true source of concern…

Are deaf-blind users free to Communicate with this free app?

Posted on Tuesday, January 15, 2013 by Scott Davert
For quite some time, deaf-blind users of iDevices have been able to use face to face communication with the public through the notes app. This consists typically of an iDevice (iPod, iPad, or iPhone) paired with a Braille display and Bluetooth keyboard. The deaf-blind person can then type using the Braille input keys on their display, while the sighted and hearing person types on the Bluetooth keyboard. All text shows up on both the Braille display and the screen of the iDevice. Now, there is…

Two Weeks with the iPhone 5: My Impressions

Posted on Sunday, October 7, 2012 by Michael Hansen

When Apple announced the iPhone 5, I told myself I wouldn’t do it—that I wouldn’t buy one.

And yet, there I found myself walking out of my local AT&T Store on launch day, a 64 GB iPhone 5 in my pocket.

One of the first things I noticed about the iPhone 5 was the metal back. It has a metal back with two glass strips running the width of the phone—one at the top and one at the bottom. The headphone jack has been relocated, and it is now on the bottom left of the device—…

iPhone 5 is here to capture a chapter from the history of cell phones

Posted on Wednesday, September 12, 2012 by Amir Soleimani

If you didn't know that Apple was supposed to unveil its latest iPhone a couple of hours ago or in case you had no clue about the new features in its accompanying iOS 6, perhaps you belong to a different planet! Seriously, now that Apple has introduced its 4-inch iPhone 5 with much fanfare, it wouldn't be odd to argue that it'll be remembered in the history of cell phones many years from now. As cynical as you might be, you might contend that it can be said about each and every iPhone.…

Addressing LookTel Breadcrumbs GPS app launch delay

Posted on Friday, August 17, 2012 by AnonyMouse
Just recieved this news straight from the Looktel PR department and they wanted me to pass this along to you all. We will have to wait a bit longer for the Looktel Breadcrumbs but there are great news about the updates on the MoneyReader and the Recognizer! Can't wait for those updates! So here is what the Looktel PR folks had to say: "Our legal team has advised us against releasing Breadcrumbs GPS until they have been able to fully vet and evaluate the application.

Do Blind People Need a Mood-Recognition App? I Think Not

Posted on Friday, August 10, 2012 by Michael Hansen

Interpreting peoples’ body language—particularly facial expressions—is one of those challenges that almost all blind people face. But soon, there will be an app for that.

Yes, you read correctly. Canada’s Metro News reported yesterday that a group of engineering students at the University of Windsor are developing an iPhone app that can recognize peoples…

So as I am sitting here listening to the Olympic Games on my television. I thought to myself. Hey, let's do an Olympic Games of our own! Who knows? Maybe it would be fun or not so fun. That will be up to you! If it turns out to be successful and people like this then I will post a different event throughout the Summer Olympics! So what we are looking for are three nominees that will get the Gold, Silver and the Bronze award just like the winners get in the Olympic games. Instead of sports…
