"Can you do it with an iPhone?" Yes, the blind community are quite positive about their iPhone experiences. Last month, Artur Ortega, an accessibility evangelist at Yahoo, demonstrated how he uses an iphone in every day life. Effectively the touchscreen is a big thumb-pad, and using easy to understand gestures he is able to use most of the functionality on the phone, including the Safari browser. The main limitation of the iPhone, currently, is the inaccessibility of the Facebook application. Pity since the first Facebook app on the iPhone had decent accessibility. Apple have done an interesting job on iphone accessibility. It's one of the rare devices where the screen reader is built into the operating system, thus essentially free.
