Something to keep in mind here is that development on VoiceOver and development for the accessibility of other apps are two entirely different streams, as I understand things. Development on VoiceOver itself could come to a close if the accessibility APIs themselves aren't extended, and Apple could still spend vast blobs of time making iTunes, iWork, iLife, iPhoto and I-5 accessible.

Not impossible, but really hard to imagine. The bad press alone couldn't be good for them and they are in a position to gain a lot of sales from those in the disability community. Yeah maybe these folks aren't going to generate the same number of sales as the "normal" crowd, but a sale is a sale. And as previously stated, why would they be hiring folks if they were planning to cut back, that wouldn't make any sense. Scott
