iPhone

So I have not posted in awhile. Sorry about that. I have some very exciting news though. I got an iPhone. Now I feel like I am in the 21st century finally. Let me explain what lead to it.

My other phone charger died and when I went to get a new one I couldn't. On May 6th I went to King of Prussia Mall with mom, Barb, and Rich. We went to the big AT&T store and they could not help me. So we went to Radio Shack and they could not help me. Went to the small AT&T store and they could not help me either. Since we were at KoP we went to the Apple store and they of course had the iPhone 32gb in black in stock, so I got one and so did Rich.

I got the iPhone because it is truly the only accessible phone for me. I have voice over enabled on it. Between that and Siri I love my new phone.

I have downloaded ringtones for my family. I have also downloaded apps.

The first app I will talk about is the Look Tell money reader. I can now read the paper currency without the help of sighted people. It may not seem like that big of a deal, but it is. I got change back yesterday at Wal-mart and was able to check out what the bills were and place them in their proper place in my wallet all on my own. Yeah!

Next I also downloaded ColorID. This identifies colors for me. I can tell what color clothes are or even the color of someones hair.

I also got Ariadne GPS. It is really nice. I have not tried it outside of houses yet though. That is the next step for me.

I also got Weatherbug, Yellowpages, and Price Scan to read barcodes of items. ColorID and the last three were all free. The money reader was 9.99 and the GPS was 5.99 dollars to download.

I love my new phone and come this fall Apple is releasing a new operating system for the iPhone. Siri will be even smarter and FB will be integrated into the phone.
