Re: [orca-list] Ubuntu Touch/phone

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

I'd go for it in a tablet ... Maybe.  ... Big maybe.   On a phone?  No way.  I'm also a big iPhone fan.  It 
just works, you know?  No learning curve, no major hiccups, nothing.  You turn on Voiceover, and, once you 
get used to the gestures (and they aren't many), you start using the device.  I cringe at the thought of all 
the problems I'd have with things like skyping, chatting, texting and reading my daisy books.  Server and 
occasional workstation is the way for me with Linux.

iOS is in my opinion the most accessible plattform for mobile devices. However Id love to use orca and Linux 
in general on a mobile Phone or Tablet as well. I myself dont really like Android. However I could really get 
behind using Ubuntu Phone and that way using Linux exclusively
