Hi Jim and others,

        I forgot that some of you folks might use the accessibility functions that make the iPhone so helpful to blind and lo vision users.  Also features there to help with hearing and some tactile issues.

        I use features and apps on the iPhone to help with lots of Vanagon issues including taking pictures that others can read or describe to me.  Example reading my volt meeter, checking mileage, and even setting up my radio. 

        Glad others will find these accessibility features helpful!
