Apple received support from the National Federation of Blind for its new tablet, iPad. The device is accessible for the blind people, because of VoiceOver feature. VoiceOver enables easy navigation through menus.
Usually e-readers are useless for the blind, and the idea of portable books, magazines, and newspapers is appealing. Apple's iPad maybe a very useful device for them, because it allows to read easily, and in contrast to other e-readers, navigate easier. For example Amazon's Kindle is adjusted for the blind, because voice integration for all text, but the navigation is a complete failure. A blind person using Kindle needs, another person who can see to turn pages or generally navigate through menus.
I think that Apple had truly gained trust and support of many people, especially blind by this one feature. This is a great option that allows blind people to use e-readers, which are a really good invention. Visually impaired people are now one step closer to become ordinary people.
