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.

Ah, naaaa, somehow I would find it hard to believe Apple would shoot  
themselves in the foot in this fashion. 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.
