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.
Yes; it’s a question of priorities, funding, assistance and benefits.
Some people can afford it - - I wanted to bring these features to their attention.
With contract, the iPhone 4S starts at only $199, the 4 is $99, and the 3Gs is free... so where do you come up with $250? In addition, at a starting price of $499, the iPad 16GB is FAR less than any other assisted living device for communication... most are over $2000.
Are you kidding me?? Do you have any idea how much special systems cost for people with disabilities? $100 a month and $250 purchase price is PENNIES compared to other systems.
I really don’t know where you are coming from with this.. if its just a knee jerk anti-apple, or contrarianism, but your arguing a point completely without merit.
This feature has been a real gift to me. I'm deaf in one and a half ears and it the Apple devices allow me to enjoy what hearing I have left while I have it.
As to the price?
This is the second time I've read someone telling other people how they should spend their hard earned money. I thought that was just the government's job. Didn't realize there are others assigned the task.
What people do with their money is really none of your business and if you had real manners you would know that.
