You may be nullified just because Steve Jobs gets up and mentions
Universal Access at WWDC. That's great I was thrilled to see that.
But the next OS is all about new features, what NEW is coming. If
apple were committed to Accessibility they would fix BUGS, major
BUGS. Put the new features in the next version, but bug fixes come
ASAP. As they do for every other app.
We talk about iTunes, but then there is the iPod itself, no not a
Mac, but a Key player in apple's product line. Why the heck isn't
that accessible yet? Just wait for the next one, maybe with an
interface we don't even have to touch, because we move our hand over
it, that will be even less accessible.
iTunes is a great gauge because it is such a highly developed and
flagship program. Apple devotes a great deal of resources to it.
There have been several iterations of it since VO was released. First
everyone here said, "well we can't expect anything so fast this is
just the first, second, third release since VO.
You say, you have faith. Well faith without works is dead.

I think that the commitment by Apple to accessibility firmly
shown by Steve Jobs, regardless of what some folks on this list
want to deny or ignore, is our best indication that iTunes will be
made accessible. Remember, folks, only 10 features of Leopard
were shown or talked about at WWDC. Don't assume about what you
Think won't be fixed or even what will. It's like anything else,
unfortunately. We'll just have to wait, continue to make our
dissatisfaction known to the accessibility team and keep the
faith. If you want to believe there is no commitment from Apple,
that's your call, but I feel otherwise. Anyone who knows me off
this list knows that I'm one of the most cynical, doubting Thomas's
in the world, yet, from what I've observed and heard, iTunes
included, Apple will respond to the question of accessibility in
the end.
