The first LAL Live: 11th April 2010.

For this, the first LAL Live, we're joined by Sean Randle, Stuart Lawler, steven Clower, and HKC Radio's

Topics we discussed included:

    li>Accessible mobile phones:
    • What makes the Nokia fifth generation S60 phones so great
    • What is great and not so great about the iPhone from an accessibility point of view
    • Thought's on Mobile speak verses Talks.
  • audio book readers such as the Victor stream.
    • Why are they so saut after?
    • Will one leader emerge in this industry as a result of the flood of so much choice recently?
    • With the availability of Audible and so many Ebooks, what's the point in having these specialist alternatives?
  • We discuss GPS, the demise of Way finder access and the usefulness of Loadstone.
    • Is it really that bad that WayFinder is gone? Was it really that good to begin with?
    • Systems built on Sendero. How systems specifically designed to give specific information may be preferable to generic devices with bolt on assistive software in situations where we need very different information compared to sighted people who use GPS products.

A number of other topics were discussed at length with a lot of very interesting ideas and perspectives.

For next weeks show, we want more participation from listeners. If you have a question, then we really want to hear about it. If you have an opinion about what we're talking, why not discuss that with us too.
