  •  
    Pererro is a simple, compact and light, plug and play adapter that powers directly from the iOS device, providing access to iOS on iPod touch, iPhone & iPad via Apple VoiceOver. "It is designed to plug into the kind of switches that are widely available in the AT community and employed in many communication aids and environmental control devices. The adapter, which weighs just 6.9g is controlled through a switch that is connected with a 3.5mm minijack plug. The iOS device can be charged without disconnecting, and works with almost any voiceover enabled 'app' available from the Apple App Store. As Pererro is connected directly there is no Bluetooth battery drain, which is common with other devices.
