Their help with the handicapped is something to be noted by every caring person.

The IPad was a blessing to my father, who had dementia. In his last days he found solace with its games, movies and family photos. It was the one thing that kept him entertained and his mind active.

Now the IPhone 4S, with its SIRI technology, is helping a friend of mine who has dexterity problems from a stroke.

They are too expensive, that $100 a month plus the $250 cost of the phone is money taken away from most peoples limited budgets.

I agree they are beneficial to some people with special needs.

Perhaps Obama should just give out a million or so.

If you’re deaf...
If you’re blind...

If you're dense as a NYT Editor, even you might be able to use the iPhone.
