		<description><![CDATA[I do not understand something about the mobile web. The &#8216;mobile web&#8217; entails all the sites made for smart phones and other mobile devices. Despite being designed for small screens, most mobile site disable the best feature on mobile browsers, the pinch zoom. This makes no sense to me. How could this benefit mobile web users in any way? Taking away features is not a great idea to begin with, so removing the capacity to zoom in on small screen is simply foolish. Instead of disabling zoom, mobile web sites (and mobile browsers) ought to be looking into text zoom. The iPhone&#8217;s default zoom, like that in most browsers, is a full zoom, acting like a magnifying glass. While useful, full zoom usually means a lot of panning left and right to read the text. Firefox (as well as Adobe Reader and mist eBook reader) offer a much better alternative, text zoom. Text zoom is not really a zoom. What happens when thus feature is used is that the text size is increases while keeping the page structure intact. In plain English, the page width and all images stay the same size. The end result is that a reader does [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is the iPad the ultimate accessible electronic accessory? Of course not, but it has some serious potential. Right away, iPad 1.0 already wins the accessible tech toy race hands down. With a few small changes, next year&#8217;s iPad 2.0 could begin to render many low vision aids obsolete. Out of the gate, the iPad is sleek, light and simple with a large, color screen. Apple appears to have left all the accessibility features of the iPhone in the iPad operating system, as has been documented elsewhere (see Accessibility and the iPad: First Impressions and Hey Apple, What About iPad’s Accessibility?). So the iPad starts out with full zoom, high-contrast mode and VoiceOver. But what more could it offer visually-impaired users? With its large LCD, Apple could raise the maximum zoom and font sizes. The iPhone has limits on how far it&#8217;s pinch zoom will go. The &#8216;Giant&#8217; font size on the iPhone does not live up to it&#8217;s name. Readers have commented on earlier posts with similar concerns on iPhone app font sizes. Apple has a chance to improve readability here with no cost to users or to themselves. iBooks looks beautiful, so the iPad will be a big player [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My new favorite app for writing emails and other documents on my Touch is WriteRoom. It it both accessible and versatile, though it is not free. Despite the rather hefty price tag at $4.99, it is well worth it. For me, accessibility is key and WriteRoom wins hands down here. Not only does it offer a widescreen mode, but a reverse pinch (the zoom gesture) takes the app to full screen mode, adding viable scree real estate. WriteRoom offers an inverse color scheme (shown in the screen shot below) with scalable fonts. My only gripe here is that the maximum font size ought to be larger. On top of accessibility, the app has both simplicity and versatility on it&#8217;s side. The interface is clean and intuitive. Documents can be backed up and accesses online ( and by a program on Mac computers). Files can also be sent to directly to the Mail app (a fairly standard feature). My only gripe here is that the name of the app is inserted into the subject line automatically. My gripes are quite minor in the face of WriteRoom simplicity, accessibility and versatility. If you write many emails or other documents on your iPhone [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Blind Photographers has written already about iPhone photography ins Shooting the iPhone 3GS. What will the iPad bring to the table? Nothing yet, as the tablet, like its older sibling, the iPod Touch, lacks a camera.  However, hope is not lost. PCWorld reports that they are  Sleuthing for an iPad Camera. &#8220;General consensus is that there will be a camera in the iPad, but not in the first generation—a camera would be a great feature to roll out in version two, giving more people a reason to buy after all the early-adopters get theirs. Though that’s still just speculation, the iPad appears to be fully camera-ready even now, and there might even be time left for another announcement from The Steve.&#8221; Assuming that these rumors pan out, what will this mean for blind and visually impaired photographers? Simply put, the iPad will offer the single largest LCD for composing and reviewing shots available in digital photography. I struggle with my Nikon&#8217;s LCD to review and can barely see through the tiny viewfinder to compose shots. Until I upload images into Lightroom, much of my photography is little more than educated guesswork. An iPad-mounted camera opens up a world of opportunity [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have something to confess. I am one of god&#8217;s most pathetic creatures. I am a Boston Red Sox fan. Even though I had to quit little league after getting hit in the face trying to play catch on sidelines, I still love the game. My one season of little league involved a total of two hits (both off my best friend at the time) and playing outfield by listening for the ball to land so I could find it. Despite all this, I am a big fan. When I go to a game, I need someone to narrate the action and read me the scoreboard. Regardless, baseball is the only sport I follow with any attention. A few years ago, we moved away from Fenway Park, far out of the broadcast range of NESN and WRKO (the cable and radio homes of the Sox). Fortunately, MLB offered a online audio subscription, letting me listen to the games at my desk. But is has been hard to stay stuck to my desk night after night. This year, MLB has offered a new solution. MLB&#8217;s At Bat 2009 is MLB&#8217;s iPhone app. How cool, you ask, is that? Pretty cool is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The new iPhone update has moved the audio book playback speed controls. In the earlier versions, these controls were hidden away in the Music panel of the Settings App. This was terribly unintuitive as I noted in this post, Variable Speed Playback on the iPhone. Whenever I shared my iPod Touch with my wife, I would inevitably get a call about how to fix the speed. Now, Apple has redesigned the scrubber panel that drops down from the top when you tap on the music playback screen. In addition to the slide bar that allows you to more accurately move a particular spot in a song or book chapter, there are trhee new buttons. From Apple&#8217;s Podcast and Audiobook Controls page From the Now Playing screen, tap the cover. The email, 30-second repeat, and playback speed controls appear along with the scrubber bar. You can see elapsed time, remaining time, and the episode or chapter number. The quick rewind button and the playback speed controls are long overdo improvements. I love the quick rewind on my TiVo and have missed that capability on the iPod Touch. I am often interrupted when listening to books, especially when out walking the dogs, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apparently, Apple has been listening. I have blogged much over the past six months on the iPhone&#8217;s missing accessibility features; more zoom, more color contrast and more voice. Today, Apply announced the next iteration of the iPhone, the 3G S, and it has taken a giant step in the right direction. Apple introduces these features on its iPhone 3G S Accessibility page. iPhone 3G S offers accessibility features to assist users who are visually or hearing impaired. These features include the VoiceOver screen reader, a Zoom feature, White on Black display options, Mono Audio, and more. Learn more about accessibility The main new accessibility feature is the implementation of Apple&#8217;s signature screen reader, Voiceover, to the iPhone. Without having tested it myself, this seems like a pretty good implementation. In addition to Voice Control, iPhone 3G S features VoiceOver, the world’s first gesture-based screen reader. Instead of memorizing keyboard commands or pressing tiny arrow keys, you simply touch the screen to hear a description of the item under your finger, then double-tap, drag, or flick to control iPhone. VoiceOver speaks 21 languages and works with all of the applications built into iPhone 3G S. Just as importantly for me are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[More and more, I am finding myself using my iPod Touch as a pocket watch. For those times my watch is not handy, but my iPod is (which is surprisingly often), I find that I turn to it to check to the time. The font is just large enough that I do not need to read it with glasses. At night, I used to have to lift my alarm clock up to my face to read the time. Yes, I should get a large print clock, but they do not have great alarm or radio settings. My iPod Touch, though, is usually recharging right next to the clock. It is smaller, unencumbered by wires and I can also check my email if I am unlikely to fall back asleep quickly. Read more iPhone accessibility reviews here. PS My iPod wallpaper is a photo I took of our dog, Hero, sitting on a large rock in a local dog park. She does not usually drool! If you find this post useful or interesting, please consider buying me a cup of coffee.Related Posts:Accessing iPhone Time: The Digital Clock AppWeather Access on the iPhoneGiant Fonts for iPhone MailAccessing your Kindle on the iPhoneAccessing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I noted when I Bought My First iPhone App, there is no built-in way to totate images on the iPhone. Apple probably never thought of it because rotating images on the iPhone makes them quite small. It is both better and simpler just to swivel the iPhone itself depending on whether the image is landscape or portrait. On the other hand, what if you want to insert the image into an email or, in my case, a blog post? Landscape images come out sideways. Initially, to get around this, I needed to download the image onto your computer and rotate it there. What a pain! Managing all those downloaded images and then getting them onto the blog or into email is just unnecessary. There is a $0.99 app on the iPhone that does this one thing and does it well. It rotates images. Called Photo Rotate, this well-named app from Andrew Bednarz does an elegant job. The interface is simple and well laid out. In the current release, you can choose both clockwise and counterclockwise rotation as well as horizontal or vertical flips. Although the font could be a bit bigger, the light-on-dark color scheme and the simple, uncluttered [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apparently, some one, as usual, has beaten me to it.  Not long ago, I posted about talking lamp posts. These talking lamp posts would give nearby visitors an audio description of their location. I thought it would be a better idea to build that capability into GPS-capable devices. They can build the ‘guides’ into the GPS devices. The new driving GPS devices allow users to import audio guides that are triggered as you near a location with a description. Why not add these to the pedestrian GPS devices? It could be a grass roots effort, like a Wikipedie-esque WikiAudioEyesGuide. The GPS device could download audio clips for he local area (created by regular people) that would be triggered when the GPS device nears particular GPS coordinates. This way there is not extensive expense changing lampposts. Also, information can be updated regularly. Well, HearPlanet is an iPhone app that reads nearby Wikipedia entries out loud. It turns out that Wikipedia is already a WikiAudioEyesGuide site. HearPlanet delivers location information that really speaks to you. It&#8217;s like having a professional tour guide always by your side. Leave those bulky tour books behind and let HearPlanet show you the way. We make it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A while back I posted a tip about adding IDs to the iPhone wallpaper. This tip involved adding your contact info manually using an image editing software on your desktop. Too tricky for most, including me. Fortunately, it turns out that ther is an easier way to do this. There are to similar apps, with sacly similar names, that will add your contact info to images directly on your iPhone. If Found, Please&#8230; If Found, Please&#8230; is a cool little free app. From the developers at Polka: Create a message and contact information on your own personal wallpaper in case your phone is lost. Best part is the information is viewable even if the phone is locked. Hopefully the nice person that finds it will contact you and arrange its safe return! The app puts a little text box and an exclamation mark at the bottom of the image you would like to be your iPhone wallpaper. Once saved, you hop over to the Photo library and set the new image as your wallpaper. If Found If Found is quite similar.

		<description><![CDATA[On every digital device, some piece of the screen is almost always lost to toolbars. Windows has its Task Bar. Each individual software has its title bar up top, usually following by the main menu bar. The iPhone&#8217;s browser has the same issues. As you can see on the right, a portion of the top and bottom of the small iPhone. The problem is exacerbated by using the iPhone in landscape mode, which is a key mode for iPhone accessibility. There is a nifty little app, simply called Full Screen Web Browser, which addresses this issue for $0.99. Simply put, this device saves space. For a visually impaired user zooming into the text while in landscape mode, this makes a big difference. According the developers, forty percent of the screen&#8217;s space is saved. Browse the web free from clutter! The Full Screen Web Browser from SOPODS is a true full-screen web browser available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. This app gives you up to 40% of your screen&#8217;s real estate back by hiding the buttons, address and even the status bar when you don&#8217;t need them.

Besides support for multiple languages, Wikipanion has smart search and bookmarking features. you can also e-mail your search results to disbelieving friends. Wikipanion is also quite accessible. Not only is the font size adjustable, but you can use both multi-touch and double-tap zooming. You can use Wikipanion in either landscape or portrait mode. The only major accessibility feature it lacks is the ability to choose an alternate color scheme. The Wikipanion web site offers detailed descriptions of these features. This intellgent layout is described as Pretty Print: Wikipanion&#8217;s custom formatting for the iPhone formats each page so that it is easy to read and quick to load. With a direct connection to the Wikipedia servers, pages load several times faster than when viewed from Safari.

		<description><![CDATA[Ken Rockwell has a great tip on How to add your ID to your iPhone and iPod Touch. Wouldn&#8217;t it be nice if you could have your contact information pop up every time your iPhone or iPod touch turns on, so that if you lost it, you would get it back? The tip is a little tricky. Basically, you take your home screen image and add your contact info as a layer in Photoshop. Still, it is a good idea. If you find this post useful or interesting, please consider buying me a cup of coffee.Related Posts:iPhone Tip: If Found AppsiPhone Tap Dance: Just Tap (Twice) to ZoomMy iPod WishlistOff-Topic: Syncing Google Contacts &#038; Calendar with your iPHoneiPhone Full Browser]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi. My name us Tim and I am an addict. Addicted to public radio, that is. The alarm clock radio, the shower radio, the kitchen radio, the car radio. Even iTunes. Now the iPod Touch. The Public Radio Exchange has released a fee iPhone app, Public Radio Tuner, that finds and streams US public radio stations. Many public radio stations offer an internet stream, which the iPhone or Touch can access. Public Radio Tuner describes itself as follows: The goal is to create the Public Radio Tuner – an application for the iPhone platform using Apple’s recently released software development kit (SDK) and iTunes App Store distribution service. The application will serve end users by initially offering access to local stations’ internet radio streams. Additional versions will offer program/content guides along with a catalog of on-demand audio content from local, independent, and national content providers. Future functionality will enable direct listener contributions to stations and content providers. The project will establish a coordinated approach to the iPhone as a powerful platform for public media, setting standards and shared resources for further application development.
