[ATI] i phone vs android

[3BlindMice]

Yes seriously.  I went to the AT&T store thinking that I was going to be the idiot who couldn't figure out how to use it.  I was amazed at how easy it was.  I have only recently started using a bluetooth keyboard, but before that I did everything on the screen.  And again, the apps are endless.  For example, the other day, I was able to use an app called OMoby to take a picture of a box and have it tell me what it was.  Then from there, I used the Safari app to go to the web and look up the directions for that product.  Also I have found some really neat, fun games for myself and the kids, who are also both totally blind.  I do understand the issues with the carriers, which is why I have the pod instead of the phone.

Lots more apps, but Not as many accessible apps.  At least that's my understanding.  I text and E-mail with my iphone on the screen all the time.  Try it before you give up.  Works better if you turn on touch typing mode.  Then when you raise your finger, it types.

Hi all;

I am in the market for a new cell phone. I love the I phone but I liked to text and email and I feel that I would need a key board at all times. I heard the droid at least some have key boards. Does the droid offer as many accessible apps as the I phone there are so many.
