Friends Kingdom: Re: [iPad] App for Sight Impaired Users

And a PS... Where, oh where did I say it should be free? Curious!

Lots of things would be "nice" if they were free.

My mother paid extra to get an upgraded version of a basic
(Medicare-provided) walker. Makes her life easier (and probably staves off
wheelchairdom for some considerable time).

Lots of vision-impaired people are not unemployed, or poor, and are willing
to pay for upgrades or better accommodations.

If upgrades had to be free, pretty soon there wouldn't be any, or the "base
price" would go up to allow for it, or (e.g. walker) it wouldn't be covered
by insurance.

Of course, if you, or anyone, wants to do the work of providing these
enhancements as a charity gift to the world, you're quite welcome!

Would be so nice, but at $99.00 and considering many visually impaired
people are unemployed, it sadly comes back to the Yankee Dollah. Unlikely
that many of them would HAVE an iPhone, save for the VoiceOver....
