I think that the accessibility of specific applications are a
different animal. These features are VO related in general. Will
they impact the overall accessibility? Well, if we can get some sort
of demo or feedback from anyone who has played with it, that will
give us a better indication. From what I've been told, each software
package has a development cycle that can extend almost 2 years out.
Thus, I'm sure we will see iTunes and other apps become accessible
when these cycles come around again.

hi all
i wonder if ITunes support for VO users will be implimented?
those features don't sound totally revolutionary and helpful
For example, most people won't need familiarizing with VO with
extra verbage while learning it, as most of the community adapted
the technology from its birth with OS10, i.e. with Tiger

Drag and drop functionality is standard in many, if not most, GUI
applications and support for using it with VO would make a lot of
sense. I have no idea why you'd think it is an outdated
technology. By the same logic so would keyboard hot keys for
cutting and pasting. Those've been around since the dawn of
personalized computing.

This is one of ten features that Apple chose to talk about at

The release of Leopard is slated for spring 2007
