Apple iPod Nano 8 Gb 6th generation (Metallic) **NO RESERVE**

Vision

Music lovers who are blind or vision-impaired can now enjoy iTunes and iPod nano in an entirely new way.

VoiceOver on iPod nano

iPod nano includes VoiceOver, the gesture-based screen reader that lets visually impaired users browse and select songs without viewing the screen. Instead, you’ll hear a synthesized voice speaking the names of menus, songs, and artists. Touch the screen to hear a description of the item under your finger, then double-tap, drag, or flick to control iPod nano. Use the optional Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic to control your music without looking at the screen. VoiceOver tells you the name of the song or artist — and it speaks 29 languages.

Mono Audio

When you’re listening to music on iPod nano, the Mono Audio feature plays both stereo left and right audio channels in each earbud.

White on Black

If you prefer higher contrast, the new iPod nano (6th generation) lets you change the display to white on black. Use the White on Black feature in any application, as well as the Home screen and VoiceOver.

High-Contrast Screen and Backlight

iPod nano features a high-resolution LCD display with adjustable brightness settings that make it easy to read even in low-light conditions. An Auto-Brightness feature continually adjusts the brightness automatically — using an integrated ambient light sensor — for optimal viewing even in very high and very low lighting conditions.

Accessibility in iTunes 10

iTunes 10 is screen-reader friendly. On a Mac using Mac OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard, it’s compatible with VoiceOver; on a PC using Windows XP or Windows Vista, it’s compatible with GW-Micro Window-Eyes 7.0.

Screen-reader technology

For those who are blind or have a vision impairment, screen readers provide spoken descriptions and full keyboard control as an alternative to using a mouse. Screen readers use a speech engine to synthesize spoken descriptions that explain what’s taking place on the computer screen. While customers using Windows PCs typically purchase screen readers separately, Mac computers with Mac OS X v10.4 or later include a full-featured, built-in screen reader called VoiceOver.

On a Mac, iTunes 10 works in conjunction with VoiceOver to provide full keyboard control and spoken audio descriptions. iTunes also works with the other built-in Universal Access features of Mac OS X, including Zoom, Sticky Keys, and Mouse Keys. The Universal Access features work in conjunction with VoiceOver to suit your specific needs.

Thanks to its support for Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA), iTunes 10 for Windows can be used with screen readers for Windows, but to take advantage of this support, screen reader developers may have to update their applications. Apple recommends using GW-Micro Window-Eyes 7.0, which is sold separately, on Windows XP (Service Pack 3).
