[Athen] New iPhone made Accessible

[Pratik Patel]

The lack of a physical keyboard is one of the least attractive things.  The
Apple site describes a way to use the virtual keyboard by using the screen.
It seems a bit inefficient.  And, no. I'm afraid I haven't tried it but am
willing to take the risk in the name of research.  I just wish it weren't so
expensive.

Pratik,

Have you had a chance to try this? How is a blind user supposed to type on 
it? Is there a keyboard provided?
