Hi Neela

The 4th Generation will have all of the accessibility features of the 3.  The main differences between the 3 and 4 are some slightly up rated bits inside.

As for the setting up the iPad is relatively simple to self configure if you are comfortable with the technology.  The largest hurdle is learning the gestures, swiping of fingers etc.  By simply pressing the tactile home button 3 times will activate the voiceover control and it will speak to you.

I hope this helps

Kind Regards

Subject: [BCAB] Apple iPad

I know Jackie in an earlier mail informed us of her positive experience of
purchasing an iPad in the Apple Store in Belfast.  I have looked at an iPad
today, apparently 4th generation (think Jackie's is 3rd generation) so
before purchasing I just want to check with all you Apple experts that this
new 4th generation iPad will have all the accessability features.  Hefty
price of six hundred and fifty five pounds includes VAT, and five hundred
and forty-five pounds excluding the VAT.  The particular store is prepared
to give me the VAT off but says tht there would be a £20 for setting it up.
I thought apart from turning voice over on, it more or less works out of the
box.
