iOS shopping apps make it especially convenient to do holiday shopping
anywhere. There's no need for a computer--just get your device and start
shopping. This article reviews the Amazon mobile app, the Apple Store app,
and RetailMeNot. The first two apps have items for sale while RetailMeNot
provides discount codes and coupons for a wide variety of retailers.

Recently, Apple released iOS 9, a new operating system for iPhone, iPad,

There is a new player in the video assistance arena called CrowdViz, and
like Be My Eyes it is currently only available in the iOS App Store, though
an Android version is also in the works. Unlike Be My Eyes, however, after
eight complimentary video assistance sessions, new sessions must be paid
for via in-app purchase.

sitecues, a tool developed by ZoomText maker Ai Squared, seeks to make
the web easier to read for users who could benefit from text magnification
or speech, especially those who don't use other assistive technology
solutions.

As you prepare to spend time with those you care about this holiday
season, why not visit 64 Oz. Games and purchase some accessibility kits for
games that you and yours can play together. It is evident that Richard and
Emily Gibbs have a lot of energy and enthusiasm for what they do, and they
have only just gotten started making accessibility kits for games that the
blind and sighted can play together. Let's give them our support!
