Roger taht. You are correct and I think good things are coming, I
just feel it. I've never felt this positive about a machine and its
hardware. I know I'll be doing my part when possible to further
accessibility on the Mac and especially with third-party devices.

Scott,
Frankly, I think the iTunes dig is a pretty reasonable one. As
Jerry mentioned, there's no way to know for absolutely sure what
the longer term will bring for accessibility on the Mac. The
waiting and wondering can be excruciating when you need a
particular app that's not been updated. But there is some serious
change in the wind. Because it's pretty straightforward when using
the native Mac development tools and frameworks (and there is a
wealth of relevant education and documentation from Apple),
accessibility for Mac developers seems to be becoming more a "this
is just something any reputable developer does" kind of thing
rather than an occult speciality. To happen elegantly this really
had to happen in steps though (at least, tha's what I'd argue). VO
and the updated developer tools are the basics - the hammer and the
saw. Now comes the work to move everything else forward. Developers
big and small risk their reputations if they don't take
accessibility seriously - particularly when Apple has done so much
to eliminate the excuses.
