Hi all

There have been huge developments in the area of mobile phone technology over 
the last few years and, there is now a wide choice of phones that are 
accessible with different operating systems available to people with sight loss 
or who have impaired vision.

With this in mind, VICS in collaboration with the rehabilitation centre of NCBI 
decided to run a mobile devices awareness event to let people know the various 
choices that exist and to give people the opportunity to try out this 
technology for themselves.  The event will be held at the Rehabilitation 
Training Centre, at NCBI's head office, on Whitworth Road, in Drumcondra in 
Dublin, on Saturday the 7th of May and will start at 11 AM sharp.

There will be 4 presentations covering the following topics:
the IPhone using zoom
the IPhone using Voiceover
Accessibility in the Android OS
Using talks on a symbian handset.

The day will be very informative and, there will be opportunities for you to 
ask questions and have a look at the technology for yourselves.

Lunch will be provided to people attending the day.  If you wish to attend, 
please contact Stuart Lawler no later than 5:00 PM on Tuesday 3rd May.  His 
phone number is 087 9926360 or, you can e-mail him at stuart.lawler@xxxxxxx

The mobile event will be followed by the VICS annual General Meeting which will 
start at 2:30.  I would urge as many members of VICS as possible to attend the 
meeting.  It is a great opportunity for you to put your ideas forward as to 
what you would like to see VICS doing in the coming year.  There are a number 
of vacancies to be filled on the committee this year so, if you are interested 
in putting your name forward and you are unable to attend the meeting, please 
contact the secretary of VICS, Esmond Walshe at esmond.walshe@xxxxxxxxx as soon 
as possible.

I look forward to seeing you all on the day.

Joan Ann
Chairperson.
