Hi,
Thanks for that correction. I just thought it was a Cocoa Application.
Interestingly enough, Apple might have a new problem on their hands.
Recently iTunes U was launched. Many Colleges and Schools are jumping on the iTunes U band wagon. What will they do when they find out how many accessibility problems exist for blind people having full and complete access to the course presentations through iTunes.
I suppose the sival Rights people might have fun with this one.

Hello,
I agree with all you have stated. However, this begs the question. If Native Applications in Cocoe should be accessible, why is not Apple's own flagship programs like iTunes not truly VoiceOver accessible.

Hi Dan,

Ah, a sore point for Apple (and Apple supporters). iTunes isn't a Cocoa app. I don't have any inside information but I believe iTunes remains mostly inaccessible due to issues related to maintaining it as a cross-platform application. Again, I don't have any inside info but that's what I get through the grapevine.
