Hello from a newbie. :)
I'm considering getting either an Ipod Touch or Ipad. I was thinking the touch as it's pretty darn portable (hard to get more portable than something you can stick in your pocket). I'd been thinking the Touch because I'd like an Ipod as an mp3 player, but would like the "smartphone"-like capabilities of the Touch, but without the phone and thus without the data plan.
I was at Thanksgiving dinner and was mentioning this, and my brother suggested I might prefer the ipad because of the larger screen and ability to enlarge stuff. I looked at his ipad and his stepdaughter's Iphone (which they said the ipod touch is other than not having the phone as part of it). Big difference in screen size.
I know that IOS has different accessibility features, such as VoiceOver for reading what's on screen, as well as Zoom (I think is what they call it) for enlarging. Obviously, if I were going to use Zoom, I'd probably want the Ipad as with a bigger screen, more stuff would fit and there wouldn't be as much scrolling as there would be with the touch.
If I use VoiceOver and have everything read to me, I'm not sure screen size particularly matters.
So I guess I'm looking for opinions from visually impaired users of IOS devices. Does screen size matter when using VoiceOver? If you have vision to read print provided it's large enough, is it better to use Zoom vs. VoiceOver?
Thanks. :)
