Reference from Banjo’s World on “Equal Access: HDMI is Inaccessible” that is about HDMI that we, deaf and hard of hearing, need to have it go through to HDTV. Subtitle can be the problem with anybody with poor visual. Built-in Closed Caption from media box isn’t help that much, but useful with Sling anyway. So, the figure should help to clear up.

I had Powerbook 3G, Pismo model since 2001. It failed like 2 years ago which it have Sound / AC Power Input Board problem as it cannot recharge or even power-up. I order the new one from eBay and replace it by myself. But it wouldn’t able to work properly. I couldn’t figure out what’s wrong. I give up and leave it in duct while I was busy abuse my iBook for short year then MacBook, which I current own it. Until few weeks ago, I decided it was good time to get my Pismo repair to find out what’s really wrong. I use third-party from Powerbook Media which seem good cost. I shipped to there and later, found out that it wasn’t logic board, it was first place I thought. It’s only need hard driver replace. Good thing, it was crap 12GB HDD into 112GB HDD. Awesome, it finally running great as just the basic to use such as surf over Internet. But video don’t running that well. Who care! Powerbook 3G live!!!

If you’re think about get iPod Classic or Nano instead iPod Touch or iPhone. But you’re not sure about closed caption (CC) support. I’m show the proof that both lately iPod model that does support CC and does appear on the display. Text size is somewhere small but fair to read. Let saying it’s not too bad for anyone with good visual. It’s not only for deaf but for hearing, which is ideal, to watch in the noise level area.
Take note, the movie with closed caption is available from iTunes with Power Search. So far, I checked there is 94 movies with CC on list. I brought Italian Job (1969) that support CC that can be view on iTunes or iPod the lately model.
1. Monthly is narrow expensive for me. I’m happy with Sprint Relay plan with my (ick) Centro) which is only $30 per month. Acknowledge that there is TAP plan for deaf but it’s still bit expensive than the normally which is $50 on 3G and $40 on original (EDGE).
2. There is no copy and paste feature. Imagine that its advance operator system for mobile and yet, it has no copy/paste!
3. Typing would slow me down. Of course, it would take time me to learn. Unfortunately, I couldn’t typing with one hand.
4. I fear that iPhone is like a glasses. Accessories are annoying. I prefer mobile phone in naked and be proud.
5. There is no tethering allow, at&t demand us to pay extra. Whatever I’m on road, I need an Internet on computer unlike seen on mobile phone. Yeah, I know there is Netshare but it keep removed from iTunes store.
6. 3G coverage isn’t great enough compare to EVDO. its better to await until it grow more. The more I will be satisfactory.
7. There is no video recorder mode. Have to buy an application to running iPhone as camcorder.
8. Lack battery, I may eat up battery when use pushy IMAP e-mail system. I’m medium user on surf web, e-mail and text-message.
